I don't know that history has recorded that honor as, in the first modern Olympics in 1896, most of the competition was held in one day and the clock times that the competitions were held were not recorded.
The gold medal winners on that first day of gymnastics were:
1) Pommel Horse: Louis Zutter, Switzerland
2) Rings: Ioannis Mitropoulos, Greece
3) Horizontal Bar: Hermann Weingärtner, Germany
4) Horse Vault: Karl Schuhmann, Germany
5) Parallel Bars: Alfred Flatow, Germany
One of the five men listed above was the first to win a gold medal in gymnastics at the modern Olympics.
