Belarusian gymnasts first competed at the 1993 World Championships, after the fall of the Soviet Union. They immediately achieved great success as both Vitaly Scherbo and Elena Piskun won gold that year.[1] The Belarusian men's team won their first team gold medal at the 2001 World Championships.[2] Scherbo holds the record for most World Championships medals won by a male artistic gymnast with 23, 15 of which were won while competing for Belarus.[3]
