World Artistic Gymnastics Championships – Men's pommel horse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The men's pommel horse competition was an inaugural event at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.[1][2] It was not held in 1909.

Three medals are awarded: gold for first place, silver for second place, and bronze for third place. Tie breakers have not been used in every year. In the event of a tie between two gymnasts, both names are listed, and the following position (second for a tie for first, third for a tie for second) is left empty because a medal was not awarded for that position. If three gymnastics tied for a position, the following two positions are left empty.
