Team, Men

Date	27 – 29 August 1972 — 11:15-19:00 (27/8), 10:00-18:00 (29/8)
Status	Olympic
Location	Sporthalle, Olympiapark, München
Participants	96 from 16 countries
Format	Six-person teams. Each gymnast to perform a compulsory and an optional exercise on all 6 apparatuses. Top 5 scores per team on each of the 12 exercises count towards the team score.

As in 1960-68, Japan won this gold medal over the Soviet Union, winning even more easily in 1972. Japan won the team all-around gold medal at every Olympics from 1960-76, missing the 1980 Olympics because of the USA-led boycott. The German Democratic Republic (East) was the bronze medalist in Mexico City. The podium for this event was the same every year from 1964-76, as it had been at the 1966 and 1970 World Championships.
