When Jean Renaud Adde was later eliminated from the competition for falling off his horse on the cross-country course, the same happened to him, causing an astronomical team score for the cross-country ride.

Marks and ranks from Vault qualification differ as two vaults are used to determine event finalists while only the first of those counts toward the All-around total.
Thomas Bouhail qualified for the All-Around final of the top 24 gymnasts because the number of finalists from the same nation is limited to two. Thus, three gymnasts ranked ahead of him were ineligible.
