Kohei Uchimura qualified in ninth place, making most of us question everything we know about ourselves and the world around us. We aren’t accustomed to seeing Kohei stumble, yet he did so multiple times in prelims, dropping off high bar and pommel horse.
Still, it’s hard to think of his performance as anything more than a fluke – a momentary lapse in perfection. The medal rounds are where Kohei’s readiness will truly be measured.
