Qualification
Summary
Acrobatic
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 1 team of 2 athletes. As hosts, Argentina was given a team to compete, causing a reduction to the number of teams qualified from the Americas. The remaining 11 teams were to be decided at the 2018 Acrobatics World Championships.[1] Host Argentina declined the quota while no nation from Oceania competed. The United States declined the quota, and thus the two places were reallocated to Asia and Europe.
To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics athletes must have been born between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2003.[1]
Artistic
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a maximum of two athletes, one per each gender. As hosts, Argentina wase given the maximum quota should they not have qualified normally and two spots, one for each gender, were decided by the tripartite commission; however, only one was given. These quotas caused a reduction from the continental quota depending on which continent the chosen nation was from. The remaining quotas were determined through five continental qualifiers.[1]
