Women's events at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships [1] [2] were first held in 1934 at the 10th World Championships, initially featuring only the All-Around and Team events. In 1938, at the 11th World Championships, the other apparatus events were added. Originally women participated in parallel bars competition (like in the men's program). Starting from 1950, at the 12th World Championships, it was replaced with uneven bars competition which has been held every year since its inception.
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 as no medal is awarded for that position. If three or more gymnasts tie for a position, the following two positions are left empty.
