A Young Kohei Uchimura Wasn't a Gymnastics Legend Yet | Before They Were Superstars

[@e.i.3077]

Am I the only one who's noticed that Japan seems to do very well in artistic sports? (Kohei, Yuzuru, Mao, Miki, Kenzo, Shoma)

[@kuroneko7022]

I think it's HARD WORK, that Japanese "fighting spirit". Body type alone doesn't win anything. lol

[@tessmargauxhelen3035]

Yes! Because they're best of all! 😊😁❤

[@ozlemdr6076]

E. I. Yes, they also are very handsome. They are very hard working guys.

[@rippingthestrings]

nothing but respect for this man ♡

[@Thebraids]

I wonder if he plans on going to Tokyo in 2020. It would be great to see him win a third gold medal in the all around.

[@gmagicitsgreat]

he does

[@HITHEREWINSTON]

If it's his last Olympics then it would be a suiting place to finish for sure.

[@saram5202]

Thebraids yes ,he wants to win at home.

[@akawhippy]

I have a feeling he will be the flag bearer for Japan for Tokyo 2020.

[@sdhgfyugfwu]

Or maybe Yuzuru Hanyu.

[@tanishaparamba5806]

He's soooooo friggin amazing!!!!!

[@Alchamei]

It really annoys me how he didn't get the superstar status as Biles. Unfortunately, when you're not an American, no one knows you.

[@mocneeuq]

Not about race again LOL. Kohei is very popular though with the gym fans. But all around the world, Women gymnastics is more watched compared to men that is why Simone is more popular.

[@deborahporter9731]

it also doesnt help that he doesnt speak any english at all face it hes a japanese guy who doesnt speak any english so hes not going to be as popular and relatable as simone biles so dont be putting simone down she is the greatest of all time period!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Alchamei]

Gracie C. I don't mean it in reagrds with race, I mean his nationality. He is a real superstar in his sport, but he would get much more attention if he was American.

[@King_Jonghyun]

Alchamei He gets international attention. I'm sorry but America isn't the center of the universe. He's well known throughout Asia and that's what matters. Wanna know why? BECAUSE HE'S ASIAN.

[@e.i.3077]

Deborah Porter Don't you think it's too soon to call her the greatest of all time? Especially considering she still hasn't achieved what Kohei has.

[@julialovegym8953]

I do gymnastics too and I am half japanese😊I am seat happy that we have such a great gymnast in our country 😍I love and respect him really much

[@finneurovision5775]

He's so cute! 😍 ^^

[@deborahporter9731]

ewwww sry but asian guys are NOT cute at all ive never seen an attractive one!!!!

[@MB-me3ys]

Deborah Porter 10 points to me! I found the racist in the KZbin comments! Well done me!

[@mariaocamporodriguez6907]

Awww es tan lindo ojalá y pueda estar en Japón el próximo año para que pueda retirarse a lo grande. Aún así ya es el mejor gimnasta de todos los tiempos.

[@milagroslopez9177]

[@dosunum6118]

Hope he nailed his new technique. And be well till Tokyo 2020.he talked in Japanese media. He having backbone ache after the game. So during the awarding ceremony, he cant bow down 4:41

[@Michael25062009]

Un maravilloso deportista en la gimnacia, una leyenda viviente de Japón.

[@akawhippy]
