Comment

The 37th World Artistic Gymnastics Championships were held in Anaheim, California, United States, in 2003.

Tie-breakers were not used at this competition. If two gymnasts received identical scores in the event finals, they were both awarded medals for their placement.

Team Final

Note: Annia Hatch and Ashley Postell were originally named to the US team, but both withdrew from the competition due to a knee injury (Hatch) and a severe case of the flu (Postell). Chellsie Memmel and Terin Humphrey were flown in as alternates to replace them. After a successful performance in the qualification round, Courtney Kupets severely injured her Achilles tendon and the US was then down to 5 athletes, as it was too late to call in another alternate after competition had already begun.
