Balance Beam, Women

Date	18 – 22 July 1976 — 19:30
Status	Olympic
Location	Le Forum de Montréal, Montréal, Québec
Participants	86 from 18 countries

The format was similar to 1964-72, with the best six gymnasts in the team all-around advancing to the apparatus final, with the final apparatus score made up of 50% of the all-around total and a final optional program. However, nations were now limited to only two gymnasts in the finals. Nadia Comăneci won one of her two 1976 apparatus gold medals in this event, the other coming on the uneven bars. Comăneci had the highest score in qualifying and then received a perfect 10.00 for her final routine to win by over 0.2 points over Olga Korbut (URS). Romanian Teodora Ungureanu came in third for the bronze medal. Comăneci would defend her gold medal on beam at the 1980 Olympics.
