This event figured on the Olympic Programme for the first time in 1912, and would appear only once more, in 1920 at Antwerp. The Swedish team easily won the team event based on their own method of gymnastics. This event had only three entrants, from three of the five Scandinavian nations. Four of the five judges placed Sweden first, while the Danish judge voted for Denmark. Sweden repeated their Olympic victory in their own style at Antwerp in 1920. Only John Sörenson competed for Sweden in both 1912 and 1920.
