remembering Akinori Nakayama
When I was a young gymnast, the Japanese were best in the world.
Of all the superstars of the day, my favourite was Akinori Nakayama.
With six Olympic titles and 10 Olympic medals, the awe-inspiring Nakayama Akinori (JPN) was a man apart even in the pantheon of Japan’s greatest gymnasts.
An impeccable performer who was consistently among the best in the world on five apparatus during the 1960s and 1970s, Nakayama, who passed away on 9 March at age 82, inspired wonder by winning four of the eight Olympic titles in Men’s Artistic Gymnastics at the 1968 Olympic Games. …

Scott Hann: 2 decades of coaching Max Whitlock
Scott Hann reflects on the many years and 4 Olympics coaching the greatest gymnast in British history.
After a remarkable and successful relationship came to an end this summer in Paris, Hann reflects on nearly 20 years working with Whitlock, his own gymnastics journey and his passion for developing the next generation of coaches in the sport. …
Max was 12 years old when we started working together at South Essex Gymnastics Club. He was a happy-go-lucky kid but someone with such good basics in gymnastics as well.
I remember taking him to his first major competition in 2006, the UK School Games as a reserve, but the 2010 Commonwealth Games in India was the moment where it all changed. …
