At the 1904 Summer Olympics of St. Louis, Missouri, eleven gymnastics events were contested for the "first time."
The 1904 Games had a program of events spread out over several months. And the gymnastics competition was no different. The International Olympic Committee considers two sets of events as "Olympic":
- International Turners' Championship held July 1β2, "comprising the all-around," triathlon, and team events
- Olympic Gymnastics Championships held October 29, "comprising the seven individual apparatus events." And the combined event.
The individual all-around was a combination of the gymnastic triathlon competition and the athletics triathlon. The team competition was a combination of individual scores from the individual all-around. The parallel bars, horizontal bar, vault, and pommel horse scores for each gymnast were summedββto get the combined score.
