Kōhei Uchimura is a Japanese artistic gymnast. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Uchimura started gymnastics at the age of three and he has won many competitions since then. His parents run a gymnastic school and he has been practicing gymnastics there.
Now he has won the world gymnastic championship three times in a row. In the Beijing Olympics Uchimura couldn't get a gold medal and he ended in silver. His dream was to to get a gold medal in the Olympics. This year, in the London Olympics, he finished his performance with a perfect landing and he was able to win a gold medal. I'm glad that he has won a gold medal.

hey Takuro,
ReplyDeleteNice posting - I think Uchimura did really well in winning the gold medal at Lonadon 2012. However, I think he did even better in the "Olympic Spirit" when the Japanese men overtook the British in the team event for solver/bronze (his dismount again!). He was very humble and almost apologetic about ousting the GB Team on a technicality, and said so very well.
