D 6.9

A commenter on GymFever linked to results from a recent competition called All-Japan Adult.

Kohei Uchimura:

FX D6.4 15.600
PH D6.2 15.100
SR D6.2 15.100
VT D6.0 15.400
PB D6.4 15.100
HB D6.9 15.550

Cool. But I find the E score too high. In the old days that would be “overuse of one kind of element“.
