Men's individual all-around

The championships were purely team events without any individual awards. Individual all-round scores were only introduced in 1922, with the first all-round individual men's champion being recognised in that year. Individual apparatus scores were introduced subsequently. [6] As such no actual individual medals were awarded at these games, the below rankings were conferred retrospectively. [1]
