How Successful Are Men All-Around Olympic Medalists on Apparatus Events at Olympic Games From 1924 to 2016

Abstract

At Olympic Games (OG) 1896 in Athens all-around competition in gymnastics was not a discipline. First time all-around title in gymnastics at OG was awarded in Paris in the year of 1900, however there were no apparatus awards given until OG 1924 in Paris. The article shows a historical research and follows development of OG all-around medallists and their success with relation to winning medals on individual apparatus. In Paris1924 Leon Štukelj (Slovenia, ex-Yugoslavia) won all-around and horizontal bar gold medal. Since then all-around medallists shared very different success in apparatus ranking. The last multiple winner was Vitaly Scherbo (Belarus, ex-Soviet Union) who at OG 1992 won all-around and three apparatus finals (rings, vault and parallel bars). Since then such achievement has not been repeated yet. With open-ended difficulty value in the Code of Points and special competitions held by FIG for apparatus specialist, the doors are opening to more apparatus specialists to attend OG and chances to repeat Scherbo’s success are getting smaller

Erceg et al (2014), Nunomura et al (2019 and Atikovic & Kamenjasevic (2021) claim that practice time, experience in the sport and going through different configurations of structuring a routine according to the CoP in different Olympiads favor the development of complex variation of gymnastics skills in search of higher values and higher difficulty scores.…”

“…Tais informações orientam o trabalho de treinadores(as), melhorando, assim, a preparação dos(as) ginastas que planejam competir em alto nível e colaborando com o desenvolvimento de sua carreira esportiva (ARKHAEV; SUCHILIN, 2004;FORBES, 2010;FERREIRINHA et al, 2011;MASSIDDA;CALÓ, 2012;FERNANDEZ-VILLARINO et al, 2013;KUMAKURA, 2018;NUNOMURA et al, 2019), gerando adaptações diretas nas preparações física, técnica, tática e artística dos(as) ginastas (CARRARA; MOCHIZUKI, 2011;DONTI et al, 2014) e trazendo também possíveis dificuldades de compreensão das regras por parte dos(as) árbitros(as) (KIRKPATRICK;HAWK, 2006;PIRES, 2010;PAJEK, 2014;. Isso mostra uma diferença na interpretação das instruções pelos(as) profissionais e atletas que atuam dentro da modalidade em diferentes posições.…”
