Early Olympic Gymnastics Competitions
Early Olympic gymnastics competitions had unique events, some with unusual names. Here are the events which were an official part of the Olympic program.
There was also a demonstration of Ling Gymnastics at the 1948 Games. There are some references to the "flying rings" gymnastics event at early Olympic Games, though it is believed that the event may have been the still rings, as it currently performed.
