Individual All-Around, Men

The Swiss won gold and silver in this event, with Georges Miez winning gold and his teammate, Hermann Hänggi, taking silver. Both also won an individual apparatus gold and another individual apparatus medal, and helped Switzerland to the team gold medal. Miez won the horizontal bar and was second on the pommelled horse, while Hänggi won the pommelled horse and was third on parallel bars. During Miez’s Olympic career, which lasted from 1924-36, he won eight Olympic medals and four golds. This was the only Olympics for Hänggi. The bronze medalist was Leon Štukelj, who was the defending champion. Italy’s Romeo Neri, who placed fourth, would return at Los Angeles in 1932 to win the gold medal there.
