Two-time Olympic gymnastics champion Kohei Uchimura won the NHK Cup men\u2019s competition for the 10th straight time last Sunday.\u00a0 The competition is a qualifier for the Oct. 25-Nov. 3 world championships in Doha, where Uchimura and Shirai will now represent Japan.\u00a0 \u201cI didn\u2019t make any mistakes, while nailing the landings in all of my routines,\u201d said Uchimura, who is preparing to compete in his eighth worlds. \u201cI didn\u2019t get to extend my winning streak (to 11) at the nationals, but I\u2019m still gunning for more.\u00a0 I want to aim for gold in the team event at the worlds.\u201d Uchimura\u00a0is known for becoming the first gymnast (male or female) to win every major all-around title in a single Olympic cycle. He accomplished this feat twice by winning six world all-around titles (2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015).\u00a0Uchimura is also a 19-time World medalist and is considered by many to be the greatest gymnast of all time.<\/p>\n
