| Participants | 79 from 28 countries |
The format was the same as it had been from 1984-96, with eight gymnasts advancing from the team all-around, but no more than two per nation. This was not considered Aleksey Nemov’s best event, but his score of 9.787 tied France’s Benjamin Varonian. Gymnastics had instituted a new tie-breaking system by 2000 which gave the gold medal to Nemov, with Varonian settling for silver. The first tie-breaker was the execution scores, with the second tie-breaker the start values. Korea’s Lee Ju-Hyeong was the bronze medalist. Lee was in his third Olympics, winning his first medals in Sydney, with this and a silver medal on parallel bars.
Top eight on each apparatus (maximum two per nation) in the individual all-around qualifying advanced to the apparatus finals.
