Women's vault competition at the 2008 Summer Olympics was held on August 17 at the Beijing National Indoor Stadium.

The eight competitors (with a maximum of two per nation) with the highest scores in qualifying proceeded to the women's vault finals. There, each gymnast performed two vaults; the scores from the final round (ignoring qualification) determining the final ranking.

Disputes

There was a major controversy concerning the Russian gymnast Anna Pavlova. Her first vault scored a 15.625, placing her in medal contention. On her second vault, she thought she had received confirmation from the judges and, as a result, began before the green light and received a 0.

A ScoreScoring in artistic gymnastics is based on two separate scores that are then combined in order to come to the final score. The A score measures the difficulty of each element (and combinations of elements) within the routine, while the B score evaluates the performance, ie, the "execution, composition and artistry" of the routine. For further information, please see the Code of Points article.
