The FIG has three wild cards of its own in each discipline to, "ensure the representation of the host nation by one athlete per gender and the representation of all continents" in gymnastics. The IOC may also issue wild cards at their discretion.
For Beijing Fig issued wild cards in Rhythmic gymnastics:
Individuals, Xiao Yiming (China), Odette Richard (South Africa) and Naazmi Johnston (Australia).
Groups: Brazil and Greece.
The IOC issued only one wild card: Wania Monteiro (Cape Verde).
For the London Olympics FIG will only issue wild cards to British gymnasts with the agreement of the British Olympic Committee whose stated policy is not to enter competitors unless they are likely to finish in the top half of their competition.
