Uchimura dominates Japan Championships

Day 1 & 2 combined

1) Kohei Uchimura 91.850 + 90.500 = 182.350 AA
2) Ryohei Kato 89.800 + 88.55 = 178.350 AA
3) Yusuke Tanaka 88.050 + 89.250 = 177.300 AA

The Japanese Universiade team for 2013 will be Ryohei Kato, Yusuke Tanaka, Shogo Nonomura, Chihiro Yoshioka and Hiroki Ishikawa. I’m not sure if I got all the names right. …

Gymnast #391

Uchimura

That Team with a healthy Kohei will easily be the favourite to win the World University Games.

Oops. koko believes Kohei is not eligible for Universiade. Perhaps he’s graduated.

Some athletes register for University only to get eligible for FISU, then drop out of school. I’m not sure whether or not Kohei could have done that.

I’m sure host Russia was hoping the top guys from other nations wouldn’t be attending in this the “rest” year of the quadrennial.
