* Kyla Ross (USA), ranked 6th, and Anastasia Grishina (RUS), ranked 9th, did not advance to the final because of the two-per-country rule.

* Larisa Iordache (ROU), Aliya Mustafina (RUS), Jordyn Wieber (USA), and Sandra Izbașa (ROU) ranked 11th, 12th, 12th, and 14th, respectively, but did not qualify as reserves because of the two-per-country rule. On 6 August, Diana Bulimar gave up her spot to Iordache, whom Bulimar believed had a better chance of medaling.

  1. ^ Raisman was initially given a D score of 6.200 for a total score of 14.966. However, on appeal, her D score was raised to 6.300 for a total score of 15.066 and a third-place tie with Ponor. The tie was broken based on Raisman's higher E score.
