The top 24 qualifiers compete on four apparatus - vault, uneven bars, floor and beam - for the right to be crowned world champion. Neither current world champion Jordyn Wieber or Olympic gold medallist Gabby Douglas are expected to compete, so national champion Simone Biles spearheads the American challenge against Russian favourite Aliya Mustafina.

Britain could be represented, with 2012 national champion Rebecca Tunney the most likely to be involved.
