Kohei Uchimura (31 = Ringer Hat), a boy who won the Olympics for the second time in a row, performed an iron bar for each event and won the championship with a high score of 15,700 points.

Difficulty level H “Bret Schneider (twice a Kobachi twist)” succeeded in the match that followed the international tournament in November and qualifying on the 11th, and the subsequent feats are also wonderful. In the qualifying round, he stopped the landing, which was slightly disturbed, and expressed his joy by applauding the venue. He surpassed 15,533 points in the standings and far exceeded the score of the 19th world champion, 14,900 points.

Uchimura is aiming for a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and is targeting iron bars only this summer.

Below is an interview with the winner.

-About winning

It was the third race to focus on the iron bars, and finally the ability to match the iron bars has improved, and as a result, I came here aiming to break out of the points and get my performance firmly, so I wonder if I could do it. I think. It is the first time that both the qualifying and the final have been done from the iron bar, so it is possible to finish only with the iron bar. Furthermore, today I have to act only in 3 minutes. I had a difficult experience with my 31-year-old body, but I was still able to give up, which was a clue for me to face the Tokyo Olympics.

-Aim even higher

I wonder if I have to raise the difficulty level a bit more. I appreciate that the referees gave me points in the game after a long time, but I aim for a part that is not points. I want to aim for a performance and height that makes everyone feel amazing, beautiful, and different from everyone else.

-About the Tokyo Olympics

I haven’t even stood at the starting line yet. Nothing has started yet. Frankly, I can’t be happy. I want to practice immediately so I don’t have time to be happy with the results and scores. It feels even tighter.

◆ Road to the Uchimura Olympic Games The maximum number of representatives for the Tokyo Olympic Games is six. Four people are selected within the group, but Uchimura, who was dedicated to the first event, does not apply. The goal is a maximum of two individual slots, which can be purchased as a country at next year’s Asian Championships. The results of the Japan Championship, NHK Cup, and Japan Event Championships scheduled for next spring will give you the right to represent. The specialists for each event are not only iron bars, but also players from the other five events, and fierce competition for national representatives awaits them.
