A question!

To my knowledgeable readers:

Does anyone know for sure what the qualification structure will be for the Olympic Games?

Will it be the same as today at Europeans (5-3-3) or something else (5-4-4 or 5-4-3)?
I had always assumed each team would have to put up 4 athletes on each event, however if it is 5-3-3 this could shake up team compositions and give more room for specialists.

It gives more scope for surpises too, with olympic pressure and no room for mistakes.

I'll try to find the answer myself, but if you know, please comment!
Thanks :-D

UPDATE:
Thanks to a link from Commenter Ashleigh, it's confirmed by International Gymnast the format for the Olympics is 5-4-3 for prelims and 5-3-3 for finals. That begs the question why they did things differently here in Brussels. Still, the more gymnastics we get to see, the better!
