The rings is an artistic gymnastics event held at the Summer Olympics.

However, the rings was one of the components of the men's artistic individual all-around in 1900, 1908, and 1912.

The men's rings returned as a medal event in 1924 and has been held every Games since.

Rings scores were included in the individual all-around for 1924 and 1928, with no separate apparatus final.

From 1936 to 1956, there were again no separate apparatus finals with the rings scores used in the all-around.
