(*) On the Pommeled Horse, three finns (Heikki Savolainen, Veikko Huhtanen and Paavo Aaltonen) shared the gold medal.
According to the rules then, the next competitor was called "second" and received a bronze medal.
Similarly, Huhtanen's result at the vault is called "fourth" even though five competitors were ahead of him. I award the points for sixth place, though.
