About these games, it is written in a 100-year Anniversary publication, that Following "agreements, objections, and discussions" this manifestation was called "World Championships".,84 however on the following page of that same publication, it is stated "Logically, the manifestations of the 50th anniversary of the FIG cannot be placed among the official competitions",.85 Additionally, in a 125-year Anniversary Publication, it is said about these games "Premiers concours sous l’appellation Championnats du Monde de Gymnastique artistique masculine a Paris.",Grandi Bruno The Story Goes On…125 Years 1881-2006 https://www.fig-docs.com/website/highlights/The_story_goes_on_150dpi.pdf International Gymnastics Federation 2024-05-10 yet they were referred to as "unofficial"35 and their results were omitted from the results section of that book.64 As it currently stands (as of as recently as 2021), about these games in 1931, the FIG states “1931 First Artistic Men's World Championships held in Paris.”https://www.gymnastics.sport/site/figbrief/history.php FIG - History www.gymnastics.sport Federation Internationale de Gymnastique= 2024-05-10 44 individuals from 10 nations participated in this competition. 14 events were contested.

Therefore, the highest-ranking gymnast, Heikki Savolainen of Finland did not actually end up becoming World Champion; rather, 2nd-place finishing Alois Hudec of Czechoslovakia, who was the only individual to score at least 60% on all 14 events, ended up becoming 'World Champion' at this competition.Huguenin Andre Unger Beatrice 100 Years of the International Gymnastics Federation: 1881-1981 http://www.fig-docs.com/website/highlights/100%20years%20of%20the%20FIG-e.pdf International Gymnastics Federation 84–85 Medal Country Gymnast Image:Gold medal icon.svg Czechoslovakia Alois Hudec Men's floor exercise Medal Country Gymnast Image:Gold medal icon.svg Czechoslovakia Alois Hudec Men's rings Medal Country Gymnast Image:Gold medal icon.svg Alois Hudec Men's vault Medal Country Gymnast Image:Gold medal icon.svg Hermann Hänggi Men's parallel bars Medal Country Gymnast Image:Gold medal icon.svg Hungary István Pelle Men's horizontal bar Medal Country Gymnast Image:Gold medal icon.svg Finland Heikki Savolainen References Category:World Artistic Gymnastics Championships
