From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gymnastics at the 1952 Summer Olympics was represented by 15 events: 7 for women and 8 for men. All events were held in the Finnish Fair building in Helsinki between July 19 and July 24. It is located some 0.4 km to the south from Olympiastadion and named Töölön kisahalli as of 2006. Men's events were held in the Exhibition Hall I (Messuhalli I) of the building. Women's events were contested in the Exhibition Hall II (Messuhalli II), which is smaller, than Exhibition Hall I.
[edit] Format of competition
Each nation was allowed to enter a team. Nations, which did not enter full teams, could enter individual competitors.
Each of the events, except the team exercise with portable apparatus, was judged by five judges. The highest and lowest marks were dropped and an average of three remaining ones constituted the score. The team exercise with portable apparatus event was judged by eight judges. Two highest and two lowest marks were dropped and the sum of four remaining marks, multiplied by two formed the team's score.
The team consisted of eight gymnasts. Each team member performed compulsory and optional routines on each of four apparatus. She could also repeat the compulsory routine, then only the repetition was counted. This rule was applied for all apparatus, except the vault. On both compulsory and optional vaults a gymnast performed two attempts, the better to count. Gymnast's scores in these performances counted for all of the events, except the separate team exercise with portable apparatus event (also known as group exercise with hand apparatus event), which was some sort of group rhythmic exercises similar to the group competition event in rhythmic gymnastics. Scores of gymnasts from incomplete teams counted only for individual events.
In the team competition gymnast's scores in each routine constituted her total score for all routines. From eight total scores of team's gymnasts were selected six best ones, which, along with the team's score in the team exercise with portable apparatus event, constituted the overall team's totals.
Each of the events was judged by four judges. The highest and lowest marks were dropped and an average of two remaining ones constituted the score.
The team included from five to eight gymnasts. Each team member performed compulsory and optional routines on each of six apparatus. He could also repeat the compulsory routine, then only the repetition was counted. This rule was applied for all apparatus, except the vault and the floor exercise. On both compulsory and optional vaults a gymnast performed two attempts, the better to count. Gymnast's scores in these performances counted for all of the events. Scores of gymnasts from incomplete teams counted only for individual events.
The scoring in the team competition event was much different from WAG one. Five best scores constituted the team's score for the routine. These scores constituted the overall team's totals.
