In light of that, all of these data sources remain completely consistent, in terms of the data that they do present, with respect to the results of the pre-WWI editions of these World Championships.) An article published in the 10 June 2024 issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport (a peer-reviewed journal) claimed that the BFEG’s (the FIG’s predecessor) archives from before 1950 appear to have been lost.Vonnard Philippe Mayencourt Gil Building European Fraternity Through Gymnastics: The Establishment of the Bureau Des Fédérations Européennes de Gymnastiques, 1863–1913 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09523367.2024.2351219#abstract/ Taylor and Francis Online 10 September 2025 However a brief biographical treatment containing a photograph of multiple medals belonging to 1911 World All-Around Champion Ferdinand Steiner on the website of an alma mater of his, the Jiří Wolkera Gymnasium cs Gymnázium Jiřího Wolkera, shows multiple medals with the words "Concorso Ginnastico Internazionale 1911 Torino" embossed onto them.Slavní absolventi naší školys Famous graduates of our school https://www.gjwprostejov.cz/slavni Gymnázium_Jiřího_Wolkera April 29, 2025 This brief biographical treatment was published at least as far back as 14 January 2017 on the officialGymnázium Jiřího Wolkera Homepage https://www.gjwprostejov.cz/ Gymnázium_Jiřího_Wolkera 14 September 2025 Facebook website of his alma mater in a photograph album, begun on 29 November 2016, containing other such brief biographical treatments of its notable alumni."Ferdinand Steiner " (in Zapomenutí rodáci města Prostějova (Forgotten Natives of the City of Prostějov)) https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1223868384374843&set=a.1181074551987560 Official Facebook Account of Gymnázium Jiřího Wolkera Prostějov 14 January 2017 cs 14 September 2025 That pictoral presentation of Steiner’s medals helps suggest that individual medals were awarded for those 1911 World Championships as they were from the same locale and year as the 1911 Worlds, and with the original title of the competition being printed on those medals, this further helps suggest that these individual medals were awarded contemporaneously.
