Uchimura, JPN lead at World Championships

World Champion Kohei Uchimura convinced the last doubter on Earth that he’s the greatest gymnast ever by finishing the preliminary competition with a score of 92.231. That’s counting a partial fall on Floor. That’s after being limited in training since July with shoulder injury.
