Summary

This event was an offshoot of the individual all-around for apparatus and field sports, with the scores in the three track & field events (100 yards, long jump, shot put) used to determine placements. The event could really be considered a track & field multi-event, sort of an early triathlon, and it could be included within the track & field events. Scoring was on a 0-10 scale, but athletes could score more than the maximum in all three events.

Unlike the combined all-around and all-around for apparatus work, which were dominated by German-speaking gymnasts, the Americans were pre-eminent in the field sports, taking the top six places, and 18 of the top 20. The title went to Indianapolis’ [Max Emmerich], who scored well over the maximum with 35.7 points.
