Hans Eugster of Switzerland had won the 1950 World Championship on this apparatus, and he came through in Helsinki to again win gold. He was followed by Viktor Chukarin, the individual all-around champion, and his Swiss teammate, Sepp Stalder, who had won a bronze medal on parallel bars at London in 1948. Chukarin would return in 1956 at Melbourne and win the gold medal in the event. Eugster won a full set of medals in Helsinki, with a silver in the team event and a bronze on the rings.
