World Artistic Gymnastics Championships – Men's vault

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The men's vault competition at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships[1][2] was first contested in 1934. It has been held in every year since its inception.

Three medals are awarded: gold for first place, silver for second place, and bronze for third place. Tie breakers have not been used in every year. In the event of a tie between two gymnasts, both names are listed, and the following position (second for a tie for first, third for a tie for second) is left empty because a medal was not awarded for that position. If three gymnastics tied for a position, the following two positions are left empty.
