Individual All-Around, Men

Date	12 – 13 August 1948 — 9:00
Status	Olympic
Location	Empress Hall, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, Kensington, London
Participants	123 from 16 countries
Format	Compulsory and optional exercise performed on all six apparatuses.

Choosing a favorite was next to impossible as there had been no international competition since prior to World War II. In the end the event was dominated by the Finns and Swiss, who would finish 1-2 in the team event. Finland’s Veikko Huhtanen won the gold medal and his teammate Paavo Aaltonen took bronze, but the Swiss finished 2-4-5-6, with Walter Lehmann winning silver. None of the top eight gymnasts had ever competed at the Olympics before, and only Aaltonen and fourth-placed Sepp Stalder would return in 1952, with Stalder winning a bronze medal in 1952. He is best remembered for a move on the horizontal and uneven parallel bars which is named after him, the Stalder-Grätsche or Stalder Shoot.
