The men's triathlon was an artistic gymnastics event held as part of the gymnastics programme at the 1904 Summer Olympics. It was the only time the event was held at the Olympics. The competition was held on Friday, July 1, 1904, and on Saturday, July 2, 1904. One hundred and nineteen gymnasts from three nations competed.
The three apparatus used were the horizontal bar, the parallel bars, and the horse (itself actually split further between the "long horse" or vault and the "side horse" or pommel horse). Each gymnast performed two compulsory routines and one optional routine on each apparatus, with the compulsory routines split between the two versions of the horse and the optional horse routine being on the side horse. The maximum score in each routine was 5, for a total maximum of 45.
Scores from this event, as well as the athletics triathlon event, were used to determine final scoring in the gymnastic all-around event.
The medals won by Austrian Julius Lenhart and Swiss Adolf Spinnler are attributed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) according to the national affiliation of the club or team they represented, rather than their nationality. As Lenhart represented an American club and Spinnler a German club, their results are attributed to the United States and Germany, respectively.
