The women's vault event at the 2020 Summer Olympics was held on 25 July and 1 August 2021 at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre.[1] Unlike the other apparatus events, 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 only participating in other apparatus). Approximately 20 gymnasts from 15 nations (of the 98 total gymnasts) competed two vaults in the qualifying round.[2]
Rebeca Andrade of Brazil won the event for her second individual medal of the 2020 Olympics. Andrade's medal is the first gold for Brazil in women's artistic gymnastics. MyKayla Skinner of the United States earned the silver medal after originally being excluded by the two-per-country rule. South Korea's Yeo Seo-jeong finished with the bronze to earn South Korea's first medal in women's artistic gymnastics.
The medals for the competition were presented by Nawal El Moutawakel, Morocco; IOC Executive Board Member, and the medalists' bouquets were presented by Jesus Carballo, Spain; FIG Executive Committee Member.
