2016 Olympic Champion?

Is it too soon to speculate?

When Olympic Champion Kohei Uchimura was asked, he didn’t name the younger Tanaka brother, he named Ryohei Kato.

Ryohei: In London, I had promised myself to defeat Kohei Uchimura one day. As for the team competitions, I will work hard with the team to get the gold medal for Japan be it in the World Championships or the Olympics.

Host: What do you think about Kato saying that he wants to defeat you one day?

Kohei: In 4 years time, I think he will be the strongest competitor. If possible, I would like for us to compete for the same gold medal on the same stage. …

Supermura

Ryohei is the son of Hiroyuki Kato, the Japanese Olympic coach in London.

Ryohei turns age-19 today.
