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.

◆ 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.
