Only two gymnasts per country may advance to an event final. The following gymnasts scored high enough to qualify, but did not do so because two gymnasts from their country had already qualified ahead of them:

Alicia Sacramone (USA) 15.950 (4th place)
Ksenia Semenova (RUS) 15.775 (8th place)
Deng Linlin (CHN) 15.550 (9th place)
Bridget Sloan (USA) 15.500 (10th place)
Yang Yilin (CHN) 15.500 (11th place)

The eventual final two qualifiers, Dragoi (ROU) and Tsurumi (JPN), had the 12th and 13th highest balance beam score overall during qualification.

↑ Scoring in artistic gymnastics is based on two separate scores that are then combined in order to come to the final score. The A score measures the difficulty of each element (and combinations of elements) within the routine, while the B score evaluates the performance, ie, the "execution, composition and artistry" of the routine.
