It was the first World Championships with a women's segment to the competition.^[1]^: 45

It was also the first world championships at which individual medals for apparatus were given.^[2]

Conversely, 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)^[3]^[4] and 6th (1913)^[5]^[6] editions of the World Championships. In the Czech versions of those sources, reproduced by Gymnastics-History.com, both individual all-around scores and apparatus scores are presented for every competitor, and in the Slovenian versions of those sources, individual all-around scores and rankings are reproduced for the top 14 and very last-place competitor for the 1907 Worlds and for every competitor at the 1913 Worlds. Additionally, all of the data that is presented in each of those sources completely matches the data that both the FIG^[7] and USAG^[8] (the official governing body of the sport of Artistic gymnastics within the USA) present in their respective treatments on the results of these pre-WWI World Championships, with the sole two exceptions of the horizontal bar placing of French Gymnast Francois Vidal and the parallel bars placement of Belgian gymnast Paul Mangin, both at the 1907 World Championships.^[9]^[7]^: 62

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,^[10] a pictoral presentation of multiple medals belonging to 1911 World All-Around Champion Ferdinand Steiner on the website of his school^[11] shows medals, not only the team gold he won at that competition, that read “Concorso Ginnastico Internazionale 1911 Torino”.^[12] That pictoral presentation of Steiner's medals helps suggest that individual medals were awarded for those 1911 World Championships as they were from the same locale and year as the 1911 Worlds, and with the original title of the competition being printed on those medals, this further helps suggest that these individual medals were rewarded contemporaneously.
