Summary

Gymnastics competition

Field	Value
name	1913 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships
location	FRA Paris, France
prev	1911
next	1922

The 6th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships were held in Paris, France, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the "Union des Societes des Gymnastique de France", on November 16, 1913. The tournament was held at the Voltaire gymnasium on Rue Japy.

The championships were purely team events without any individual awards. Individual all-round scores were only introduced in 1922, with the first all-round individual men's champion being recognised in that year. Individual apparatus scores were introduced subsequently. As such no actual individual medals were awarded at these games, the below rankings were conferred retrospectively.

Conversely, please note that contemporaneous, detailed coverage, beyond merely team totals, of select World Championships prior to World War I exists both in the pages of “Slovenski Sokol” magazine (via the Digital Library of Slovenia) and in reproductions of apparently original and contemporaneous Czech source materials (via Gymnastics-History.com) for both the 3rd (1907) and 6th (1913){{cite news|editor-last=Murnik |editor-first=Viktor (Dr.) |title=Slovenci na mednarodni tekmi v Parizu |trans-title=Slovenians at an international competition in Paris

Additionally, please note that in lieu of an article published in the 10 June 2024 issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport (a peer-reviewed journal) claiming that the BFEG’s (the FIG’s predecessor) archives from before 1950 appear to have been lost,{{cite web |last1=Vonnard |first1=Philippe |last2=Mayencourt |first2=Gil |title=Building European Fraternity Through Gymnastics: The Establishment of the Bureau Des Fédérations Européennes de Gymnastiques, 1863–1913
