World all-around silver medalist Viktoria Karpenko led the competition until the last rotation, but was thrown from first place after she stubbed her toe, tripped, and fell out of bounds on floor exercise.[2][3][4][5]

The all-around competition in the discipline of women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) was marred by three separate scandals.

The vault apparatus was set incorrectly for more than half of the meet, and consequently many gymnasts fell and/or were injured on the event. The apparatus was adjusted during the third rotation and those gymnasts who had vaulted on the incorrectly set equipment were invited to re-do the event at the end of the competition.[6]

Andreea Raducan, who initially won the event, had her medal stripped after testing positive for pseudoephedrine, which was in a medication given to her by the team doctor. Raducan appealed the disqualification because she did not take the substance knowingly, nor was she responsible for the error; the IOC admitted Raducan was not at fault, but nonetheless upheld the decision, citing a strict liability standard. [7]

Finally, Dong Fangxiao was found in 2010 to have been 14 years old, two years under the minimum age to compete, at the Sydney Olympics. Consequently, all of her results from the Olympics were deleted from the records.[8]
