Gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's vault explained

See main article: Gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The men's vault event at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held on 27 July and 4 August 2024 at the Accor Arena (referred to as the Bercy Arena due to IOC sponsorship rules).^[1] Unlike the other apparatus events, the vault requires gymnasts to perform two exercises in order for results to count towards the vault final; most of the gymnasts perform only one (if they are participating in team or individual all-around) or none (if they are participating in only other apparatus). 18 gymnasts from 16 nations (of the 318 total gymnasts) competed in the two-exercise vault in the qualifying round.^[2]

Background

This was the 26th appearance of the event, which is one of the five apparatus events held every time there were apparatus events at the Summer Olympics (no apparatus events were held in 1900, 1908, 1912, or 1920).

Competition format

The top 8 qualifiers in the qualification phase (limit two per NOC) advanced to the apparatus final. For the vault, only gymnasts who performed two exercises on the vault were considered for the final; the average score of the two exercises was counted. The finalists again performed two vaults. Qualification scores were then ignored, with only final round scores (average of the two exercises) counting.

Schedule

The competition was held over two days, 27 July and 4 August. The qualifying round (for all men's gymnastics events) was the first day with the apparatus final on the second day.^[1]
