Vault, Men

Date	20 – 29 July 1996
Status	Olympic
Location	Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
Participants	105 from 31 countries

As in 1992, eight gymnasts advanced to the final round based on the qualifying scores in the team all-around, with a maximum of two per nation, but the final placements were determined only by the score posted in the final round. Vitaly Shcherbo had won this event at Barcelona and was the 1993-94 World Champion, but he was expected to be challenged by Russia’s Aleksey Nemov, the all-around champion in Atlanta who had been World Champion on vault in 1995. Both would medal, with Nemov winning gold and Shcherbo the bronze, as Korean Yeo Hong-Cheol, the 1994 World bronze medalist, moved up to silver in 1996.
