[a]
The Pan American Championships were held the same weekend as the U.S. National Championships. USA Gymnastics still opted to send a team because, if an American gymnast finished in one of the top-two positions in the all-around, the U.S. would earn a +1 quota spot for the upcoming Olympic Games. Therefore all members of the Pan American Championships team were automatically qualified to the Olympic trials.^[9]
[b]
Penev sustained a knee injury days before the competition and withdrew.^[10]

Olympic team selection

Women's team

The top two all-around finishers, Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee, were automatically named to the Olympic team. A selection committee filled out the team with third and fourth place finishers Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum. Jade Carey had qualified an individual berth via the Apparatus World Cup series. The United States women had also earned an additional Olympic spot, separate from the four-person team, which the selection committee gave to 2016 Olympic alternate and fifth place finisher MyKayla Skinner. Four alternates were selected: Kayla DiCello, Leanne Wong, Kara Eaker, and Emma Malabuyo.^[13]

Men's team

The top all-around finisher, Brody Malone, was automatically named to the Olympic team. Because second place finisher Yul Moldauer recorded top three scores on at least three apparatuses, he too was automatically named to the Olympic team. Shane Wiskus and Sam Mikulak, the third and fourth place finishers, were named to the team by the selection committee. The men had also qualified an additional Olympic spot, separate from the four-person team, at the 2021 Pan American Gymnastics Championships. The selection committee gave this Olympic berth to pommel horse specialist Alec Yoder. Brandon Briones, Cameron Bock, Allan Bower, Akash Modi, and Alex Diab were named as the alternates.^[14]
