The men's artistic gymnastics individual all-around competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics was held at the North Greenwich Arena on 28 July and 1 August 2012.[1] It included 41 competitors from 27 nations.[2]
Kōhei Uchimura of Japan won the gold medal, his nation's first victory in the men's all-around since 1984 and its fifth overall. (At that point, Japan was second to the Soviet Union, whose gymnasts won the event six times; Uchimura would win again in 2016, bringing the two nations even.) Uchimura was the 14th man to earn multiple all-around medals, adding to his silver from 2008.
Germany's Marcel Nguyen earned silver, the first men's all-around medal for a German gymnast (including the United Team of Germany, East Germany, and West Germany) since the 1936 Games in Berlin. Danell Leyva of the United States took bronze.
