European Artistic Gymnastics Championships – Women's balance beam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The balance beam event at the European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships was first held in 1957.[1]
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.
Cătălina Ponor, with five golds and one bronze, holds the records for most gold medals and most total medals in this event.

- Notes
- At the 2026 European Championships, the Croatian government banned the use of Russian flags and emblems despite World Gymnastics lifting the ban on Russian athletes; therefore the Russian team competed under the banner World Gymnastics 2. Their results here are attributed to Russia.
