The All-Japan Gymnastics Championship will be held in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture on the 11th, and the men's qualifying round will be held. He decided to let go of the technique such as "Schneider" one after another and marked a high score of 15.533.
Uchimura Iron bar devotion to the first all Japan
Kohei Uchimura, who participated only in the horizontal bar for the first time in the All Japan Championship.
I decided one after another the difficult hand-off technique and marked a high score.
31-year-old Uchimura has shown overwhelming personal strength as the world's best all-rounder with his amazing aerial sensation and landing strength.
He has achieved numerous achievements, including winning two consecutive gold medals at the London Olympics, six consecutive world championships, and ten consecutive all-Japan championships.
However, at the 2017 World Championship, he abstained due to a pain in his left ankle, and when the record of consecutive wins for both domestic and overseas players stopped at 40, he continued to suffer from chronic shoulder pain and demonstrated his abilities. There was a period when I couldn't do it.
At last year's All Japan Championship, I made mistakes with parallel bars due to shoulder pain and lost in the qualifying, and I was removed from the World Championship.
Since then, we have continued to strengthen it while continuing to treat and rehabilitate the shoulders while reducing the difficulty of the technique and reducing the burden on the body.
After discussing with coach Hiroro Sato in February, I decided to concentrate on the horizontal bar for each event and aim for the Tokyo Olympics.
In anticipation of winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, Uchimura will raise the difficulty of acting and improve the beauty, such as by fully incorporating the "Bret Schneider" that twists twice while turning twice with a big skill of H difficulty. I also put a lot of effort into participating in the tournament for the first time at the All Japan Senior Championships in September.
At this time, immediately after completing "Bret Schneider", his elbows bent and his posture was disturbed, and he could not improve his score and finished in 6th place.
Nevertheless, at the international tournament held in Tokyo last month, his posture was not significantly disturbed even after deciding Brett Schneider, and he marked a high score of 15.200.
However, Uchimura was not satisfied with this performance, and at the press conference before the All Japan Championship, he said, "I haven't been able to perform well in the previous two tournaments, so I want to do what I am satisfied with. If you do, the points and results will come later, "he said with enthusiasm.
