Uchimura – Li Xiao Peng

Kohei competed the 6.2 vault for the second time at the NHK Cup. Much better this time.

Still, that’s his most deductible gymnastics skill on any apparatus. GREAT for anyone else. A little disappointing from Mr. Perfect. 🙂

Kasamatsu 3 1/2 twist

López (Kas + double twist) is in the Code at 6.0.

An extra half twist takes this to 6.4, I assume. Keisuke Ogura competed it at the NHK cup. The first time ever LANDED, I believe. 🙂

Oops. Nico recalled that Yang Hak Seon landed it in competition at the Korea Cup. Keisuke’s is the second in history.

Thanks Cabriole.
