12 days of up-and-coming gymnasts

For the holidays, Gymblog is posting one young future gymnastics superstar each day.

the great “who’s next” list of 2009

Four have already been chosen:

  • Sabrina Gill, Canada
  • Kohei Uchimura, Japan
  • Jeffey Wammes, Netherlands
  • Viktoria Komova, Russia
  • You might argue that Uchimura is not up-and-coming, but already a superstar. Yet, despite winning the silver medal in Men’s All-Around in Beijing, he’s only very recently become the anchor of the Japanese team. And born 1989, he’s very young.
