There were 22 separate events for the Sociétés de la Seine held during the 1900 Paris International Exposition in the gymnastics category, although not all were gymnastics events, such as this one with the gymnasts competing in wrestling. There were 3,357 competitors in the various events, representing 55 different Sociéties de Gymnastique de la Seine. This was one of the events which was contested, but it is not known how many societies were represented in the event, which was won by Amis réunis de Choisy-le-Roi.
