See main article: Gymnastics at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Women's vault competition at the 2008 Summer Olympics was held on August 17 at the Beijing National Indoor Stadium.
The eight competitors (with a maximum of two per nation) with the highest scores in qualifying proceeded to the women's vault finals. There, each gymnast performed two vaults; the scores from the final round (ignoring qualification) determining the final ranking.
There was a major controversy concerning the Russian gymnast Anna Pavlova. Her first vault scored a 15.625, placing her in medal contention. On her second vault, she thought she had received confirmation from the judges and, as a result, began before the green light and received a 0.
