Uneven bars

This was the first four-way tie in history for gold at a World Artistic Gymnastics Championships,[8] but this is unlikely to happen again because the World Championships has instituted a tie-breaking procedure since then similar to the Olympics to prevent a situation like this from happening again.[9]
