Gymnastics at the 1968 Summer Olympics

Gymnastics at the 1968 Summer Olympics was represented by 14 events: 6 for women and 8 for men. The competition was held from October 21 to October 26 at the National Auditorium.

Format of competition

The scoring in all the events was basically the same, as for gymnastics events at the 1960 Summer Olympics. Six best gymnasts on the apparatus in the team competition (by sum of two scores - for compulsory and optional routine) qualified for that apparatus finals. The new feature of the competition was in women's events: each of them was judged by four judges, like men's ones. The highest and lowest marks were dropped and an average of two remaining marks constituted the score.
