Olympic Men's Gymnastics 2021: Vault Medal Winners, Scores and Results

When scoring is done down to the thousands of a tenth of a point, you don't expect to see many ties.

But that was the case Monday in the men's vault competition at the 2021 Summer Games, with Shin Jeahwan of South Korea earning gold on a tiebreaker over ROC's Denis Abliazin.

Both Shin and Abliazin finished with averages of 14.783 on their two vaults. Shin was awarded the gold because he had the highest individual score on a single routine.

Armenia's Artur Davtyan earned bronze with a score of 14.733 and also won a tiebreak with Carlos Yulo of the Philippines.
