Paul Frère is recorded among the figures by whom gymnastics is remembered, and the surviving account of that career is the basis on which the reputation rests.
Gymnastics is judged rather than timed, and its code of points is rewritten between Olympic cycles, which makes cross-era comparison difficult.
