# Major achievements in gymnastics by nation

This short description is INTENTIONALLY "none" &#x2D; please see WP:SDNONE before you consider changing it! These are four lists of achievements in major international gymnastics events according to first-place, second-place and third-place results obtained by gymnasts representing different nations. The objective is not to create combined medal tables; the focus is on listing the best positions achieved by gymnasts in major international competitions, ranking the nations according to the most number of podiums accomplished by gymnasts of these nations. All seven competitive disciplines currently recognized by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) are covered: 1) acrobatic gymnastics, 2) aerobic gymnastics, 3) men's artistic gymnastics, 4) women's artistic gymnastics, 5) women's rhythmic gymnastics, 6) trampoline and tumbling, and 7) parkour.

## Results
### From major senior events

For the making of the list, results from four major senior-level international competitions were consulted, as follows: 1) the Olympic Games; 2) the different editions of the World Gymnastics Championships, organized by FIG for each of the gymnastics disciplines; 3) the different stages of the FIG World Cup, as well as the events that preceded it – the IFSA World Cup and the FIT World Cup; and 4) the World Games, in which gymnastics disciplines that are not yet part of the Olympic Games are contested. According to the 2018 Technical Regulations established by the FIG, as well as the statutes of the organization, these are all considered official FIG competitions. FIG also considers the defunct Four Continents Championships as an official competition, but since the tournament excluded nations from Europe, results have not been included. The Olympic Games, the World Championships, the FIG World Cup and the World Games are the only senior international competitions currently listed on individual profiles at the official FIG database, what indicates their high level of importance. Competitions that are not official FIG events, such as the Rhythmic Gymnastics Grand Prix, or the gymnastics events at the Universiade and Goodwill Games, were not considered for the creation of this list.
The conventions used on this table are AC for Acrobatic Gymnastics, AE for Aerobic Gymnastics, MA for Men's Artistic Gymnastics, WA for Women's Artistic Gymnastics, PK for Parkour, RG for Rhythmic Gymnastics, TT for Trampoline and Tumbling.
The table is pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, nations are listed in alphabetical order.

* ↑ The official report of the 1965 Trampoline World Championships lists bronze medalist in men's tumbling Peter Davies as an athlete representing Wales (WAL). However, the official records from the International Gymnastics Federation state that Davies represented Great Britain (GBR). Similarly, official results at the time suggest that some athletes represented England, while official records from the International Gymnastics Federation indicate that these athletes represented Great Britain.
* ↑ Official documents from the International Gymnastics Federation credit a silver medal earned at the 1982 Trampoline World Championships as a medal for Scotland (SCO), instead of Great Britain (GBR).

### From major junior events

For the making of this list, results from major junior-level international competitions were consulted, as follows: 1) Youth Olympic Games, and 2) Junior World Gymnastics Championships in acrobatic gymnastics (formerly known as sports acrobatics), artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics. Before merging with the FIG in 1999, the International Federation of Sports Acrobatics (IFSA) organized and promoted World Junior Championships in acrobatic gymnastics from 1989 to 1999.
Currently, FIG organizes periodical World Age Group competitions in aerobic gymnastics, acrobatic gymnastics, and trampoline. The former governing body for the trampoline, the International Trampoline Federation (FIT), incorporated into the FIG in 1998, also organized World Age Groups competitions from 1973 to 1996. World Age Group competitions were not considered for the making of this list because these events are not officially titled World Championships. In 2019, Junior World Championships were staged for the first time in artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics. In 2024, Junior World Championships were resumed for acrobatic gymnastics.
The conventions used on this table are AC for Acrobatic Gymnastics, MA for Men's Artistic Gymnastics, WA for Women's Artistic Gymnastics, RG for Rhythmic Gymnastics, TT for Trampoline. Aerobic gymnastics and parkour have neither been competed at the Youth Olympics, nor Junior World Championships have been organized for these disciplines.
The table is pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, nations are listed in alphabetical order.
