Paavo Aaltonen had won a bronze medal in the individual all-around in London, but won gold medals in both the horse vault and pommelled horse. Added to his team gold medal, this gave Aaltonen four medals in 1948 gymnastics. He would return in 1952 at Helsinki and win a fifth medal, bronze in team all-around. His teammate in London, Olavi Rove, won the silver in the vault, his only individual medal. The bronze was a three-way tie between Hungarians Ferenc Pataki and János Mogyorósi-Klencs, who had won gold and silver, respectively, in the floor exercise, and Czechoslovak Leo Sotorník.
