At the 1996 World Championships, held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Jesús Carballo won Spain its first medal at the World Championships, a gold on horizontal bar.[1] At the 2002 World Championships Elena Gómez became the first female Spanish gymnast to win a World Championships medal, winning gold on floor exercise.[2] At that same World Championships Gervasio Deferr had initially won the silver medal on men's floor exercise; however he was stripped of the medal the following year after testing positive for marijuana.[3]
