The purpose of the study is to determine the competitiveness of the world's leaders on vault at the beginning of the Olympic cycle based on the results and difficulty of vaults performed at major competitions in 2025. Research methods and organization: a comparative analysis of the "Vault" section of the Code of Points for the Olympic cycles 2022–2024 and 2025–2028; an analysis of the results of finalists on vault and the difficulty of executed vaults at continental championships and the 2025 World Cup in comparison with the results of leading Russian gymnasts at the Russian Cup and the “Cup of the Stongest”; expert evaluation of vaults performed by finalists in major 2025 competitions, based on materials available on Internet resources. Research results and conclusions. It has been determined that at the post-Olympic 2025 World Championships in Jakarta, the leaders of the European and Pan-American championships on vault will be the main contenders for victory and prize positions. This is primarily due to the fact that they all have the same level in terms of difficulty (D score) of their two final vaults. The decisive factor will be the quality of their execution (E score) and the presence of bonus (0.2 points). However, the level of the leaders at the beginning of the Olympic cycle is significantly lower than the finalists of the Paris Olympics on vault. Russian female gymnasts have a chance to qualify for the final, but not to win in this event.
