The Artistic Gymnastics World Championships are the world championships for artistic gymnastics governed by the 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); 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 a competition held in 1931 that, while referred to in an official FIG publication as the "First Artistic Men's World Championships", 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. 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 Worlds in Budapest, a trans-Atlantic endeavor they repeated at the 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. Additionally, repeat World All-Around Champion from 1909 and 1913, Marco Torres was also French-Algerian as he was born in Sidi Bel Abbès. 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 at a world championships, despite women having participated in various world championships since the first such international competition in 1903. Perhaps the first African delegation was the Egyptian one which offered forth a full male team at the 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. By the 2013 World Championships, the competition had grown to include 264 men from 71 countries and 134 women from 57 countries. 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 includ
