This was the first major international competition held since 1913, as gymnastics was not included in the 1919 Inter-Allied Games. Several of the top competitors had won international championships prior to World War I. Based on that, the favorite in the individual competition was probably Marco Torrès of France, who had been world all-around champion in 1909 and 1913. However, Torrès lost the combined gold medal to Giorgio Zampori. This was the only international combined championship of Zampori’s career, but he was world champion in 1913 at floor exercise, parallel bars, rings, and pommeled horse. He had also won a world championship in 1911 on the parallel bars.
