At the 1904 Summer Olympics of St. Louis, Missouri, eleven gymnastics events were contested for the first time.<ref name="SR">{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1904/GYM/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417050128/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1904/GYM/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 April 2020 |title=Gymnastics at the 1904 St. Louis Summer Games |work=Sports Reference |access-date=11 July 2019}}</ref>
The 1904 Games had a program of events spread out over several months, and the gymnastics competition was no different. The International Olympic Committee considers two sets of events as "Olympic": *''International Turners' Championship'' held July 1–2, comprising the all-around, triathlon, and team events *''Olympic Gymnastics Championships'' held October 29, comprising the seven individual apparatus events and the combined event.
The individual all-around was a combination of the gymnastic triathlon competition and the athletics triathlon. The team competition was a combination of individual scores from the individual all-around.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Wallechinsky|first1=David|title=The Book of Olympic Lists|date=2012|publisher=Aurum Press Ltd.|location=London, UK|isbn=9781845137731|pages=[https://archive.org/details/bookofolympiclis0000wall/page/247 247]|url=https://archive.org/details/bookofolympiclis0000wall/page/247}}</ref> The parallel bars, horizontal bar, vault, and pommel horse scores for each gymnast were summed to get the combined score. {{GymnasticsAt1904SummerOlympics}}
