Kohei Uchimura's Double Saltos


 (Source: gymnasticsgif)

Why would Uchimura want to do double saltos when twisting skills can give you more bonus? Some people seems to forget that Uchimura actually performed double saltos in his past floor routines. I wouldn't blame Uchimura for this but would blame the MAG CoP. At least Uchimura can twist clean unlike the majority of the elite gymnasts out there. Doing two twisting combo can give good bonus and it will count two decent elements for example D+C 0.1 bonus. It's much harder to count one G/F VS D & C + bonus when adding up the total d-score of the top 10 skills. The gymnast doing a G or F skill will have to find another element to count towards the top 10. Yes it's possible to have one G or F and multiple twisting elements but when you can get more points for doing all twisting elements, mind as well do it! By the way the first gif is a 3/1 twisting 2/1 tuck.

This kind user bmbul is uploading videos to youtube. You can find all the results here

Huang Huidan UB EF Gold. D 6.6 + E 8.534 = 15.134. Wow I like her routine. She connected her pak to stalder shaposh 1/2. That's the same connection as Aliya Mustafina's 2012 UB gold medal routine.

Kohei Uchimura Wins 2013 67th Japanese MAG AA Nationals

Source with more information

1) Kohei Uchimura 91.850 + 90.500 = 182.350 AA Day 1 & 2 combined
2) Ryohei Kato 89.800 + 88.55 = 178.350 AA
3) Yusuke Tanaka 88.050 + 89.250 = 177.300 AA


The translation was rough to understand so hopefully I did the scores correctly. I tried watching this event live but my feed was really choppy and then I couldn't refresh the link. I got tired so I went to sleep. The Japanese Universiade team for 2013 will be Ryohei Kato, Yusuke Tanaka, Shogo Nonomura, Chihiro Yoshioga and Hiroki Ishikawa. I'm not sure if I got all the names right.

Oh I just found Day 2 part 1 (watch it before it might get deleted)
