The Men’s competition was far stronger and more competitive than the women’s. You needed to be incredible just to get noticed these days.
Shogo Nonomura just might be the next Uchimura. And a future world champion. He won this meet with 87.00 and shows terrific potential.
He’s the little kid shown above, there winning Junior Asian Championships 2010.
In fact, I heard today that Nonomura nearly qualified for the powerhouse Japanese Sr Men’s Worlds Team. But a fall on the last apparatus in trials dropped him to 7th.
This was the 20th International Junior Gymnastics Competition, an event held every 2 years in the same venue. Highly recommended. Komova won the WAG competition in 2009.
