| 1911 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships | |
|---|---|
| Location |  Turin, Italy |
The Turin International Gymnastics Tournament, subsequently regarded as the 5th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, was held in Turin, Italy, in conjunction with the 8th Italian Federal Festival of Gymnastics, on May 13, 1911. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The championships were purely a team event 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. [5] As such no actual individual medals were awarded at these games, the below rankings were conferred retrospectively. [6] Similarly, Czechoslovakia did not exist as an independent country at the time, instead Czech competitors competed under the flag of Bohemia. [7]
The countries whose teams were officially scored at the tournament were Italy, France, Belgium, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg and Bohemia (i.e., the Czech Sokol team). Romania sent a team of gymnasts to the event, but they took part in only some of the exercises, and were not scored for all events. [7] [8]

1 Official documents from the International Gymnastics Federation credit medals earned by athletes from Bohemia (BOH) as medals for Czechoslovakia (TCH). [4]
2 Some sources erroneously claim that Jules Labéeu represented Belgium, while, in fact, he represented France. [4]
3 The bronze medal earned by Stane Vidmar, originally from Austria-Hungary, is officially credited by the International Gymnastics Federation as a medal for Yugoslavia (YUG), even though the nation did not exist at the time.
