Best results by event and nation

Australia is the only nation to have won a gold in every event currently in the gymnastics program; only in the rhythmic gymnastics discipline of Rope have they failed to do so, and the discipline was discontinued in 1994. Of the other two dominant nations in Commonwealth gymnastics, Canada have won gold in all rhythmic disciplines including rope, but no higher than silver on pommel horse, and England have won gold in all artistic gymnastic disciplines but only one gold in rhythmic gymnastics. Traditionally Scotland and Cyprus have been successful in artistic gymnastics, while Malaysia and Wales have found medals in rhythmic gymnastics.
