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, as boxing, wrestling, and swimming were all contested. There were 3,357 competitors in the various events, representing 55 different Sociéties de Gymnastique de la Seine. There were 33 competitors in this event, from 13 societes, with 11 individuals receiving prizes. It is not considered an Olympic event, despite the title, because it was open only to competitors from the Sociétés de la Seine. It consisted not only of gymnastics events, but weightlifting and wrestling were part of the all-around competition. The event was won by Albert Barodet, who also competed in the gymnastics event considered as the Olympic all-around, but a measure of the level of competition in this event is that Barodet finished 105th in the Olympic all-around.
