The '''Artistic [[Gymnastics World Championships]]'''<ref>{{cite web |url=https://live.fig-gymnastics.com/news.php?idevent=13465 |title=47th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships MONTREAL (CAN) |website=live.fig-gymnastics.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique |access-date=2018-09-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fig-gymnastics.com/site/events/detail.php?id=13335 |title=48th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships DOHA (QAT) |website=www.fig-gymnastics.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique |access-date=2018-09-06}}</ref> are the [[world championship]]s for [[artistic gymnastics]] governed by the [[International Gymnastics Federation|Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique]] (FIG). The first edition of the championships was held in 1903, exclusively for male gymnasts. Since the tenth edition of the tournament, in 1934, women's events are held together with men's events.

The FIG was founded in 1881 and was originally entitled FEG (Fédération Européenne de Gymnastique), but changed its name in 1921, becoming the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG);<ref name="FIG">{{cite web |title=History |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique |url=https://www.gymnastics.sport/site/figbrief/history.php}}</ref> this name change roughly correlates with the actual naming of the World Championships.  Although the first such games were held in 1903, they were not initially entitled the 'World Championships'.  The first competition ever actually referred to as a 'World Championships' at the time was [[1931 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships|a competition held in 1931]] that, while referred to in an official FIG publication as the "First Artistic Men's World Championships",<ref>{{cite book |author=Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique |title=125th Anniversary - The story goes on... |publisher=FIG |date=2005 |page=15 }}</ref> often seems to go ignored by various authorities in the sport.  The championships prior to the 1930s, beginning back in 1903, would eventually be recognized, retroactively, as the World Championships.<ref name="FIG" />

Although the FEG did not change its name into the FIG until 1921, and although what appears to have been the first non-European delegation to participate at a World Championships wasn't until Mexico sent a men's team that travelled all the way to compete at the [[1934 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships|1934 Worlds]] in [[Budapest]],<ref name="Sokolsky Glasnik">{{cite news |last=Macanovic |first=Hrvoje |date=June 8, 1934 |title=X medunarodne gimnastičke utakmice u Budimpešti. |trans-title=X International Gymnastics Matches in Budapest. |url= https://www.europeana.eu/en/item/15/URN_NBN_SI_doc_JDMXQM30 |language=sl |work=Sokolsky Glasnik |volume=5 |issue=24 |page=6 |access-date=January 13, 2021}}</ref> a trans-Atlantic endeavor they repeated at the [[Gymnastics at the 1948 Summer Olympics – Men's artistic team all-around|1948 London Summer Olympics]] (a rare non-European delegation appearance even 14 years later), technically speaking, the transcontinental nature of the World Championships was present at the very first Worlds in 1903, as the all-around champion from those first Worlds was [[Joseph Martinez]], a French-Algerian born in [[Oran]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/29985 |title=Joseph Martinez |work=Olympedia |access-date=25 November 2024}}</ref>  Additionally, repeat World All-Around Champion from 1909 and 1913, [[Marco Torres]] was also French-Algerian as he was born in [[Sidi Bel Abbès]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/30036 |title=Marco Torrès |work=Olympedia |access-date=25 November 2024}}</ref>

It was at those same 1934 World Championships in Budapest, which seems to have been the first World Championships with a non-European delegation, that there was finally the first-ever women's competition<ref name="FIG 100 Year Anniversary">{{cite book |last=Huguenin |first=Andre |translator-last=Unger |translator-first=Beatrice |title=100 Years of the International Gymnastics Federation: 1881-1981 |url=http://www.fig-docs.com/website/highlights/100%20years%20of%20the%20FIG-e.pdf |publisher=International Gymnastics Federation}}</ref>{{rp|45}}<ref>{{cite web |last=History.com |first=Gymnastics |title=1934: Women Compete at the World Championships for the First Time|url=https://www.gymnastics-history.com/2022/03/1934-women-compete-at-the-world-championships-for-the-first-time// |publisher=Gymnastics-History.com|access-date=April 27, 2024}}</ref> at a world championships, despite women having participated in various world championships since the first such international competition in 1903.<ref>{{cite web |last=History.com |first=Gymnastics |title=1903: Women's Gymnastics at the First World Championships|url=https://www.gymnastics-history.com/2022/01/1903-womens-gymnastics-at-the-first-world-championships/|publisher=Gymnastics-History.com|access-date=April 27, 2024}}</ref>

Perhaps the first African delegation was the Egyptian one which offered forth a full male team at the [[1950 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships|1950 World Championships]] in [[Basel]].  By the time of these World Championships, a total of 60 male athletes from 6 countries and 53 female athletes from 7 countries comprised the competitive field.<ref name="Grossfeld 2014 p. 6">{{Cite journal|last=Grossfeld|first=Abie |date=June 2014|title=Changes during the 110 Years of the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships|journal=Science of Gymnastics Journal |language=en|volume=6|number=2|page=6|issn=1855-7171|url=https://www.fsp.uni-lj.si/en/research/scientific-magazines/science-of-gymnastics/previous-issues/2014062120070926/}}</ref>  By the 2013 World Championships, the competition had grown to include 264 men from 71 countries and 134 women from 57 countries.<ref name="Grossfeld 2014 p. 6" />  As of 2023, over fifty editions of the championships have been staged, and over fifty countries have earned medals in artistic gymnastics events.

The most successful nation, both in gold medal results and total number of medals, is the former [[Soviet Union]] (not including medals from its successor states), and [[China]] is the second. The [[United States]] is the third most successful country in gold medal results while [[Japan]] is the third in total number of medals. Since the fall of the [[Iron Curtain]], the traditional powerhouses in men's and women's individual still had expressive results: [[Russia]], [[Belarus]], [[Ukraine]], China, United States, Japan, and [[Romanian Gymnastics Federation|Romania]]. The last two decades were marked by increasing results from two emerging powers: [[Great Britain at the Olympics|Great Britain]] and [[Brazil at the Olympics|Brazil]] and at the same period a big decrease in results from Belarus, Romania and Ukraine. After a busy schedule and some tests which led to the holding of two separate world championships in 1994 (one for individual events and one for teams), it was decided that in each Olympic year the championship would not be held and that the edition held in the subsequent year of the Games, only the competition individual would be held. However, this cycle was broken in 2021, when the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] led to the [[2020 Summer Olympics]] to be delayed by one year, the edition scheduled for that year was not cancelled. While the Games were held between July and August 2021, the World Championships was allocated to the end of the same year.

† There seems to be a history of inconsistency from the FIG's publications regarding whether these 1931 games are considered to be a World Championships.  About these games, it is written in a 100-year Anniversary publication from 1981, that ''Following "agreements, objections, and discussions" this manifestation was called "World Championships"'',<ref name="FIG 100 Year Anniversary">{{cite book |last=Huguenin |first=Andre |translator-last=Unger |translator-first=Beatrice |title=100 Years of the International Gymnastics Federation: 1881-1981 |url=http://www.fig-docs.com/website/highlights/100%20years%20of%20the%20FIG-e.pdf |publisher=International Gymnastics Federation}}</ref>{{rp|84}} however on the following page of that same publication, it is stated ''"Logically, the manifestations of the 50th anniversary of the FIG cannot be placed among the official competitions"''.<ref name="FIG 100 Year Anniversary" />{{rp|85}}  Additionally, in a 125-year Anniversary Publication from 2006, it is said about these games ''"Premiers concours sous l'appellation Championnats du Monde de Gymnastique artistique masculine a Paris"'',<ref name=book/>{{rp|13}} yet they were referred to as ''"unofficial"''<ref name=book/>{{rp|35}} and their results were omitted from the results section of that book.<ref name=book/>{{rp|64}}  As it currently stands (as of as recently as 2021), about these games in 1931, the [[International Gymnastics Federation|FIG]] states ''"1931 First Artistic Men's World Championships held in Paris."''<ref name="FIG"/>

Please note that early events such as the 1913 and 1911 championships were purely team events without any individual awards, individual scores were only introduced in 1922, with the first all-round individual men's champion being recognised in that year.<ref name="100 Years of FIG 76">{{cite book |title=100 Years of the International Gymnastics Federation 1881-1981 |date=1981 |publisher=FIG |page=76 |url=https://www.fig-docs.com/website/highlights/100%20years%20of%20the%20FIG-e.pdf |access-date=28 April 2025}}</ref> Similarly the first women's championship in 1934 only had medals being awarded to teams, not individuals.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Grossfeld |first1=Abie |title=CHANGES DURING THE 110 YEARS OF THE WORLD ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS |journal=Science of Gymnastics Journal |date=2014 |volume=6 |issue=2 |page=7 |url=https://journals.uni-lj.si/sgj/article/download/22325/18202 |access-date=28 April 2025 |publisher=University of Ljubjana Press}}</ref>  Individual "medals" for these events were therefore only recognised retrospectively and weren't awarded at the time.<ref name="Gymnastics History 2022">{{cite web |title=1913: The Last World Championships before World War I |url=https://www.gymnastics-history.com/2022/06/1913-the-last-world-championships-before-world-war-i/ |website=Gymnastics History |access-date=28 April 2025 |date=7 June 2022}}</ref> Similarly, until 1921 FIG was known as the ''European'' Gymnastics Federation (''FEG'') and its events were not world championships as such.<ref name="100 Years of FIG 41">{{cite book |title=100 Years of the International Gymnastics Federation 1881-1981 |date=1981 |publisher=FIG |page=41 |url=https://www.fig-docs.com/website/highlights/100%20years%20of%20the%20FIG-e.pdf |access-date=28 April 2025}}</ref>

;Note
<nowiki>*</nowiki> [[Alois Hudec]] of [[Czechoslovakia]] won 3 individual gold medals at the [[1931 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships|commemorative competition]] which was held in [[Paris]], France, in 1931 and referred to as the "First Artistic Men's World Championships". [[World Artistic Gymnastics Championships#Editions|However, as stated before]] there has been a history of inconsistency from the FIG's publications as to the recognition of the official or unofficial status of this event.<ref name="FIG 100 Year Anniversary" />{{rp|84–85}}<ref name="book" />{{rp|13,35,64}}<ref name="FIG"/> Without the medals he won at this competition, Hudec would not occupy a place on this Top 10 list.

;Note
Few non-primary sources state that at the [[1938 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships]], in [[Prague]], [[Vlasta Děkanová]] of [[Czechoslovakia]] won 2 or 3 golds on multiple apparatuses. According to some sources, Děkanová and her compatriot [[Matylda Pálfyová]] shared gold medals in parallel bars (this event was replaced with uneven bars in the women's program at all subsequent world championships), while others state that Pálfyová shared this victory with Polish gymnast Marta Majowska, not Děkanová. The only primary source on the subject, a book officially released by the International Gymnastics Federation containing the results of the World Championships from 1903 to 2005, informs that medals were distributed only in the team all-around event and in the individual all-around event. Therefore, according to official reports, Děkanová's official number of gold medals is four, two in individual all-round (1934 and 1938) and two in team events (1934 and 1938) - not six or seven.<ref name=book/>
