As with all apparatus formats in 1960, this was a new format, with the all-around competition serving as a qualifying round for the final, with the top six performers advancing to the final round, where they again performed a compulsory and optional exercise to determine final placements. The two dominant gymnasts in Rome, Borys Shakhlin and Takashi Ono, tied for first and shared the gold medal on the vault. All six finalists were from Japan or the Soviet Union. Vladimir Portnoy won the bronze medal, his only individual Olympic medal, and this was the only apparatus event in which he qualified for the final.
