Kohei Uchimura: World Champion, Olympic Champion, Guinness World Record holder.

Kōhei Uchimura - born January 3, 1989 in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka. 

Uchimura's name is synonymous with Japanese men's gymnastics. A five-time Olympic medalist (all-around, team and floor exercise), winning a gold and four silvers, a nine-time World medalist (all-around, team, floor, high bar, and parallel bars) and is considered by many to be the greatest gymnast of all time.  He is famous for becoming the first gymnast (male or female) to win every major all-around title in a single Olympic cycle, including three consecutive world all around titles in 2009, 2010 and 2011) an and the 2012 Olympic All-Around Champion.  He will probably need to build a trophy room in his home just to house all of his awards.

Kohei's name will also be forever ingrained in the pages of the Guinness book of World Records for having three consecutive world championship titles.

2013 World Gymnastic Championships

Nikolai Kuksenkov is still a question of the Russian team in the overall individual competition in Antwerp. He   dislocated  his  finger and  wont be able to  compete on all apparatus. . Another Gymnast, Belyavski David also runs the same risks  with an ankle injury, but will try to compete. 

Head coach Valery Alfosov of the Russian team for Antwerp said that Belyavski, Kuksenkov have minor injuries, may only compete on events but still undecided though.  The final decision will be  made  at the end of practice in Antwerp according to  the technical director of the men's team, Valeri Alfosov.

We hope both would be able to compete at the World. 

We wish them quick recovery.
