European Artistic Gymnastics Championships – Women's balance beam explained

The balance beam event at the European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships was first held in 1957.[1]

Three medals are awarded: gold for first place, silver for second place, and bronze for third place. Tie breakers have not been used in every year. In the event of a tie between two gymnasts, both names are listed, and the following position (second for a tie for first, third for a tie for second) is left empty because a medal was not awarded for that position. If three gymnastics tied for a position, the following two positions are left empty.

Cătălina Ponor, with five golds and one bronze, holds the records for most gold medals and most total medals in this event.
