Women's events

For the first time since the 1972 Olympics, Romania did not win a medal in the women's team event, due to Romania's failure to qualify a team for the first time since 1968, ending a 40-year medal run.[6][7][8]

Gala

For the first time since 2008, a gala was held in gymnastics; it was held on 17 August 2016, following the completion of competition in the artistic disciplines. The exhibition event featured performances by artistic gymnasts who participated in Rio.[9][10]
