Seventy gymnasts from nine nations competed. The "sidehorse vault" (French: saut de cheval en largeur) event used a vaulting horse set sideways (perpendicular to the approach) for gymnasts to turn and make a single flip. This was the only time that this event was held.[1] The French achieved a podium sweep, which would not happen again at the Olympics until the 2014 Winter Olympics men's ski cross event.[2][3]
