From Men’s podium training in Rotterdam …
Defending World Champion Kohei Uchimura from Japan is injured. This confirms a fear we had yesterday when he was conspicously missing from training.
International Gymnast Magazine on Facebook tells that he’s had shoulder problems since July. He attempted some Rings in podium training. No go. But he did a full routine on H Bar. And had no problem tumbling. Likely he’ll not be doing the all-around. Likely Japan will not be able to challenge the Chinese in the team competition, now.

Romania’s star Dragalescu is having problems, too. He vaulted … but not near his usual quality. And he struggled tumbling, facing double double.
We talked to Fabian Hambüchen and his father coach last night. The fabulous one still looks like a kid, yet his first World Championships was 2003!
As we knew in advance of the meet, Fabian‘s only doing 4 apparatus due to injury.
