Historical Photos of Gymnasts at the 1908 Summer Olympics

The 1908 Summer Olympics were an international multi-sport event held in London from April 27 to October 31, 1908. The 1908 Games were originally scheduled to be held in Rome, but were relocated on financial grounds following the violent eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1906, which claimed over 100 lives.

At the 1908 Summer Olympics, two gymnastics events for men were contested. No nation was successful in winning more than one medal. No women's competitions were held, though women did participate in non-competitive gymnastic displays.
