# European Artistic Gymnastics Championships – Women's vault

The vault event at the European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships was first held in 1957.
Three medals are awarded: gold for first place, silver for second place, and bronze for third place. Tie breakers have not been used in every year. In the event of a tie between two gymnasts, both names are listed, and the following position (second for a tie for first, third for a tie for second) is left empty because a medal was not awarded for that position. If three gymnastics tied for a position, the following two positions are left empty.
Giulia Steingruber, with three golds, one silver, and one bronze, holds the records for most gold medals and most total medals in this event.
