By this criteria, Uchimura is only #4.

2025–2028 Olympic Solidarity $650 million
I’ve volunteered many times to lead Olympic Solidarity coaching courses. Those are the BEST, in my opinion, offered through the International Gymnastics Federation.
And education courses are only one of many Solidarity initiatives .
- The IOC redistributes 90 per cent of its revenue to sport worldwide, which means that in the 2021-2024 period, every day the equivalent of USD 4.7 million went to help athletes and sports organisations at all levels around the world. This is up from USD 3.25 million in 2014.
- The budget for the 2025–2028 Olympic Solidarity plan has been increased by 10 per cent to USD 650 million.

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. …
