As with all apparatus formats in 1960, this was a new format, with the all-around competition serving as a qualifying round for the final, with the top six performers advancing to the final round, where they again performed a compulsory and optional exercise to determine final placements.

The Soviets swept the medals in this event, as they did in three of the four women’s apparatus finals, only missing on beam. In fact, they finished 1-4, with the gold won by Polina Astakhova, the silver going to Larisa Latynina, the bronze won by Tamara Lyukhina, with Sofya Muratova in fourth place. Astkahova would defend her gold medal by winning again at Tokyo in 1964. Although not as well known as the Soviet team leader, Latynina, Astakhova won 10 medals and five gold medals at three Olympics (1956-64).
