Horse Vault, Women

Date	21 – 29 July 1996
Status	Olympic
Location	Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
Participants	97 from 28 countries

As in 1992, eight gymnasts advanced to the final round based on the qualifying scores in the team all-around, with a maximum of two per nation, but the final placements were determined only by the score posted in the final round. The 1995 World Champion, Romanian Simona Amânar had the highest score on both vaults in the final to win the gold medal. She was trailed by China’s Mo Huilan and her teammate Gina Gogean, who joined her on the podium. Ukrainian Liliya Podkopaieva, had shared the 1995 World title with Amânar but did not make the final in Atlanta.
