Uneven bars[]

This was the first four-way tie in history for gold at a World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, but this is unlikely to happen again because the World Championships has instituted a tie-breaking procedure since then similar to the Olympics to prevent a situation like this from happening again.

Balance beam[]

Simone Biles of the USA defended her beam title from 2014, becoming the first back-to-back world champion on beam. With her ninth career world championships gold medal, she tied the record held by Larisa Latynina, Gina Gogean, and Svetlana Khorkina. Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands and Pauline Schäfer of Germany won the first medals for their countries on the balance beam. Schäfer also qualified as an individual to the Olympics by medaling (she had not directly qualified as Germany failed to make the team final, but made the Test Event).
