  1. ^ Following official records, medals earned by West Germany (FRG), East Germany (GDR), the United Team of Germany (EUA) at the 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympic Games, and Germany (GER) are counted separately.[13][14]
  2. ^ The official report of the 1965 Trampoline World Championships lists bronze medalist in men's tumbling Peter Davies as an athlete representing Wales (WAL).[15] However, the official records from the International Gymnastics Federation state that Davies represented Great Britain (GBR).[16] Similarly, official results at the time suggest that some athletes represented England, while official records from the International Gymnastics Federation indicate that these athletes represented Great Britain.[16]
  3. ^ Official documents from the International Gymnastics Federation credit a silver medal earned at the 1982 Trampoline World Championships as a medal for Scotland (SCO), instead of Great Britain (GBR).[14][13]

From major junior events

For the making of this list, results from major junior-level international competitions were consulted, as follows: 1)

Youth Olympic Games, and 2) Junior World Gymnastics Championships in acrobatic gymnastics (formerly known as sports acrobatics), artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics.[17] Before merging with the FIG in 1999, the International Federation of Sports Acrobatics (IFSA) organized and promoted World Junior Championships in acrobatic gymnastics from 1989 to 1999.[18]

Currently, FIG organizes periodical World Age Group competitions in aerobic gymnastics, acrobatic gymnastics, and trampoline. The former governing body for the trampoline, the International Trampoline Federation (FIT), incorporated into the FIG in 1998, also organized World Age Groups competitions from 1973 to 1996.[19] World Age Group competitions were not considered for the making of this list because these events are not officially titled World Championships. In 2019, Junior World Championships were staged for the first time in artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics.[20]

The conventions used on this table are AC for Acrobatic Gymnastics, MA for Men's Artistic Gymnastics, WA for Women's Artistic Gymnastics, RG for Rhythmic Gymnastics, TT for Trampoline. Aerobic gymnastics and parkour have neither been competed at the Youth Olympics, nor Junior World Championships have been organized for these disciplines.

The table is pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, nations are listed in alphabetical order.
