Peter Šumi was a Yugoslav gymnast (Slovenian).
He took part in three World Championships in gymnastics for Yugoslavia. At the 1922 World Championships in Ljubljana, he was part of the Yugoslav team that took silver in the team event, behind Czechoslovakia. He also took gold in the individual combined event, as well as gold in the rings, horizontal bar, and parallel bars, and silver in the pommel horse.
At the next World Championships, in Lyon, France in 1926, he again took silver in the team event, again behind Czechoslovakia. Sumi won the individual combined event for the second time, but won no apparatus medals on this occasion.
His last World Championship medal came in 1930, at the World Championships in Luxembourg, where he took silver in the pommel horse.
Sumi was the only gymnast to have taken individual overall medals in consecutive World Championships until the Chinese gymnast Yang Wei achieved it in 2006 and 2007.[1]
