    "And the greatest gift my parents gave me was to let me do gymnastics for fun, regardless of whether or not I was any good at it."

    I love how he sees beauty as the most important thing in gymnastics. And that's what it is! Gymnastics is beauty. Love this guy, what a legend.

    A true champion. Technical and philosophical. Medals are results not the aim ...

    This guy is a perfectionist. He did a quad double back in the gym (2 vertical rotations with 4 spins in one tumble). He just never brought it to competition because he thought the landing was not good enough. So he stuck with his triple double back and let the younger Kenzo Shirai introduce a quad back (1 vertical rotation with 4 spins) which the world thought was impressive. Kohei Uchimura is a legend in this sport. He raised the difficulty bar so high that even the Russians had to grow their team significantly to make up for the new versatility requirements.

      Thank God! That previous trademark hairstyle was kinda annoying and distracting... Untidy and messy looking.

    He said the right words about gymnastics - there should be a balance between technical difficulty and execution. He's my favourite gymnast so far in both MAG and WAG
    Good luck for him in Tokyo!!

    The king of gymnastics couldn't do a kip on high bar. That's beautiful. :')

      my God, I guess you're a perfect human being lol what a stupid comment

    • @BriacRoquet
      @BriacRoquet 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      It's not about me being perfect or bringing him down. I just found it to be a good example of 'hard work beats talent.' It's a nice change from interviews/documentary claiming someone was such a kid prodigy blabla. He went from struggling with a simple move to being the best, and that's beautiful, that's all I wanted to underline.

    • @myone982
      @myone982 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      GSTBro' I understand now, I thought you were just bashing him. I'm sorry for my comment them. :)

    @NoName-lw1jn 8 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    does he have a girlfriend? i love it when he's cute and kinda shy in front of the camera, but when he's competing he has a cold look on his face 😘😘 so handsome
