Takahiro Goshima – twisting
Cabriole sends a link to Goshima’s FX from NHK Cup. He was 7.2 & 15.50 there.
Click PLAY or watch him on Twitter. Fwd 1/1 to 3 1/5. And Bwd 1 1/2 to 3/1. Wow!

He does Bwd 3 1/5 to Fwd 2/1 in training on the very SPRINGY Senoh Floor. Just like Kenzo.
Kato and Uchimura
Gymnast #391 linked to videos.
Click PLAY or watch Kohei Uchimura on YouTube. (93.35)
Click PLAY or watch Ryohei Kato on YouTube. (90.7)
Yusuke Tanaka was only 0.1 behind Kato combined over the last two meets. I’d say he and Kenzo are the next two most likely to qualify for Japan’s Olympic Team.
Concussion – the film
Have you seen Will Smith as Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian forensic pathologist who fights against efforts by the National Football League to suppress his research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) brain degeneration suffered by professional football players?

Anyone who boxes or plays football should know the risks by now. I’m more concerned for coaches and athletes in sports who assume they are at low risk of micro-trauma injury to the brain. Trampoline? Artistic Gymnasts?

Thanks Tom.
Kohei averages 92.350
Over 2 days, the first being All Japan Championships. I’d say the King is ready for Rio.
1. Kohei Uchimura 93.35 91.30 184.65
2. Ryohei Kato 90.70 89.40 180.10
3. Yusuke Tanaka 90.95 89.05 180.00
4. Yuya Kamoto 90.15 89.25 179.40
5. Kenzo Shirai 87.70 89.70 177.40
6. Kazuma Kaya 89.25 87.55 176.80
Amanda Turner:
After silver medals the past two Olympics, the Japanese are aiming to recapture the Olympic team title they last won in 2004. The NHK results show a Japanese team of the top five gymnasts will be tough to beat; calculating the top three scores on each event Thursday results in a team score of 278.45 — nearly than 8 points higher than the winning 270.818 that Japan scored in the Glasgow team final.
Uchimura had already been named to the Olympic team. Kato was added based on this result. The rest of the team is yet to be named.
