Balance Beam, Women

Date	28 July – 1 August 1992
Status	Olympic
Location	Palau Sant Jordi, Barcelona
Participants	92 from 24 countries

Eight gymnasts advanced to the final round based on the qualifying scores in the team all-around, but the final placements were determined only by the score posted in the final round. Romanian gymnasts had won this event at the last four Olympics. However, the gold in Barcelona went to Ukrainian Unified team member Tetiana Lysenko, who was not considered a medal contender. The silver was shared by China’s Lu Li, who won gold in 1992 on the uneven bars, and American Shannon Miller, who would return in 1996 and win gold on beam.
