Individual All-Around, Men

Date	27 – 30 August 1972 — 20:00
Status	Olympic
Location	Sporthalle, Olympiapark, München
Participants	113 from 26 countries

The individual all-around had a new format in 1972. The team all-around was contested first, with the top 36 finishers from that event advancing to the individual all-around final. The total score consisted of 50% of the team all-around score and the performances on all six apparatuses in the individual final. Sawao Kato had won gold in this event at the 1968 Olympics and defended his title, equaling the feat of Alberto Braglia (ITA), who won in 1908-12, and Viktor Chukarin (URS), who won in 1952-56. Behind Kato, his teammate Eizo Kenmotsu won the silver, after having won the event at the 1970 World Championships. He was followed by Akinori Nakayama, the bronze medalist at the 1968 Olympics and 1970 Worlds, as the Japanese swept the medals in the event. The top Soviet was Nikolay Andrianov, who would win the gold medal in this event in 1976.
