He also had tremendous success at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships where he led his French team to victory in 1909 and where he became one of only 7 male gymnasts in history to become individual World All-Around Champion twice (1909 and 1913). He was also a formidable rival for Josef Čada, also World All-Around Champion (in 1907). Čada was twice World Champion on High Bar in 1911 and 1913, preceded by a silver on the apparatus in 1909; Torres placed just behind Čada on the apparatus, winning silver in 1911, but tying Čada for the title in 1913.
One of the very most successful of the earliest crops of career gymnasts at the World and Olympic level, additionally, like Čada, Torres was one of the few pre-World War I gymnasts who continued to compete (successfully) after the war.
