IF the defending World Champion Kohei Uchimura does not compete all-around due to shoulder injury, who will win?
Andrew Thornton speculates on an American Gymnast post: 2010 Mens World All-Around Title Wide Open:
JPN – Koji Yamamuro (91.1), Koji Uematsu (90.15), Kazuhito Tanaka (90.7)
China – Teng Haibin (90.95), Lu Bo, Chen Yibing, Feng Zhe, Zhang Chenglong
USA – Jonathan Horton (91.3), Danell Leyva, Chris Brooks
Russia – Maxim Devyatovsky (90.6), Sergei Khorokhordin, Daivd Belyavsky
Germany – Phillip Boy (91.05)
Korea – Kim Soo Myun (89.85)
Romania – Flavius Koczi (90.1)
Who is he forgetting?
Canada – Nathan Gafuik, …
The winner will be someone who competes the all-around in the qualifying round. Not all those listed above will do so. The TEAM score is higher priority than AA for most nations.
I’ve got a good feeling about Jon Horton. … But the winner will have to hit 6 for 6 in the AA Final.
It really is WIDE OPEN. … Don’t be surprised if Uchimura ends up competing, though. He’s so talented he might just win without training.
