On the eve of Paris 2024, we reflect on the first of the modern Olympic Artistic Gymnastics competitions. Roma 1960 was the first to include many modern innovations such as podiums. The Women’s competition format lost the group exercise and was now an individual floor routine. The men and women competed for Team, All-Around and Individual Apparatus medals much as we will see contested in Paris.
We have been donated the 16mm handheld films of the games taken by George Kunzle and these are now on our new YouTube page and some of the videos are in our report. Subscribe to our YouTube page to see more of our films as we work through them.
