Championships
Olympic class
44 artistic gymnasts competed for the championship title, with the 15 best gymnasts qualified for the cure exercises on Sunday after completing the compulsory exercises. 12,000 spectators followed the final matches in the Olympic class. Defending champion Alfred Schwarzmann only achieved 4th place, while Konrad Frey won his second championship title early on.
The Olympic class did the entire Olympic program in two days. In addition to the six compulsory exercises on the first day of the competition (horizontal bar, parallel bars, lateral horse, longitudinal horse, rings and free exercise), the horse's longitudinal jump was the only freestyle exercise. In addition, a so-called "völkisch pronunciation", which was carried out by Reichsdietwart Karl Münch after the exercises, was mandatory.
The second day of the competition saw the free exercises in parallel bars, cross horses, horizontal bar, rings and free practice.
