Although Switzerland became the first country to establish a national Gymnastics federation (doing so in 1832)[1] Swiss men did not compete at a World Championships until 1934.[2] While women were first allowed to compete at the 1934 World Championships, Swiss women wouldn't make their debut until 1978.[3]
When the Swiss men debuted at the World Championships, they achieved great success, winning numerous medals at their first four appearances. Ariella Käslin became the first Swiss female gymnast to win a medal at a World Championships, winning silver on vault in 2009.[4]
