Uneven Bars, Women

This was one of only two events Soviet women gymnasts did not win in 1952, the other being the floor exercise. In fact the medals were won by the same three athletes in both events. On the uneven bars, Hungary’s Margot Korondi won gold, Soviet Mariya Horokhovska won silver, and Korondi’s teammate, Ágnes Keleti won bronze. In the floor exercises, Horokhovska also won silver, while Korondi and Keleti would trade positions. Korondi won six medals in Helsinki and would return in 1956 at Melbourne, and add a gold and silver in the two team events. Keleti won four medals in Helsinki, but in 1956 she would add six more, with three apparatus gold medals, including this event.
