Borys Shakhlin was somewhat of a Soviet understudy to Viktor Chukarin in 1956, but in 1960 he would win gold in the individual all-around. He won the gold medal on pommelled horse at both the 1956 and 1960 Olympics, sharing the 1960 title with Finn Eugen Ekman. Shakhlin was trailed in Melbourne by Japan’s Takashi Ono and Chukarin. The most recent World Champion on pommelled horse was Hrant Shahinyan, who did not compete at the 1956 Olympics.
