Irish gymnast Megan Ryan finished just outside the qualifying places in the all around at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre.
Ryan, 19, received scores of 13.200 (vault), 11.533 (uneven bars), 10.466 (balance beam) and 12.000 for her floor routine to finish on a score of 47.199 overall.
And that left her in 25th place in her subdivision, just one place outside qualifying..
“To officially be an Olympian is just amazing, it’s surreal,” she said.
"It’s been an amazing experience overall, just looking around and taking it all in.
"I knew that no matter what happens I was just going to try and enjoy it and be happy with the fact that this is the Olympics and I am an Olympian."
The Cork teenager added: "Definitely a bit of nerves for me at the start.
"I think beam is always a shaky one to start on anyway. I got into it though, and after that I tried to put it behind me and focus on the rest and I think I did a good job with that and I was happy with the rest of the performance.
"I was really happy with floor, I added a few small bits and pieces – a few new leaps and a spin, they all went well. I had a slight step out, but I think overall I was happy with floor and I got a good floor score and when I’m comparing it with my last competition I think I was happy with the score.
"I was also happy with my vault as that is something that I didn’t get to compete at Europeans. This is my first time competing in a long time so I’m happy with that and bars as well.
"These are some of the best gymnasts in the world so it’s amazing to compete against them.”
