The article is devoted to the analysis of the structural groups and the difficulty of the vaults, which were performed by the female finalists of the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad. It was determined that the highest priorities for the leading female gymnasts are Group IV (7 performed vaults) and Group V (5 vaults). The other Groups II and III have only two vaults each. Predictably, S. Biles (USA) became the Olympic champion in the vault, due to her superiority in the overall difficulty of vaults (12,0 points). The second place was taken by R. Andrade (Brazil), who lost one point to the champion in difficulty (D score), but surpassed her in execution (E score). J. Carey (USA) with the “standard set” of vaults (Cheng and Baitova) was awarded the bronze medal. The 2024 Russian Cup revealed the lag of Russian female gymnasts from the world level in the vaults in difficulty (D). This event is the most problematic in the Russian women’s artistic gymnastics national team.
