During the team tournament, Japanese gymnast Kohei Uchimura fell off the pommel horse in the last approach - the most dangerous apparatus in the men's program. After which there were low scores, the loss of the Japanese team's bronze medal, a protest and, finally, a gift from the referees in the form of bonuses for difficulty and an unexpected final “silver”. In general, a judicial scandal.
However, in the individual all-around, Uchimura did everything to remain in the history of the Games as a hero not in the scandalous category, but in the champion category. 92.690 points and the Japanese is the absolute Olympic champion. German Marcel Nguyen is second (91.031), American Danell Leyva is third (90.698). Uchimura won his country's fifth medal in the event, but its first since 1984. Only Nguyen brought a more long-awaited award to his country. He stood on the podium for the first time since Germany won gold and bronze in Berlin in 1936.
In addition, Kohei Uchimura has not given the overall title to anyone for the fourth year in a row. Although he was recognized as a record holder back in 2011, when he became the first gymnast in history to win three gold medals at the world championships in the individual all-around. For example, representatives of the USSR Yuri Korolev and Dmitry Bilozerchev had two victories each.
Kohei, you started your fight in the overall championship with an exercise on pommel horse, which failed you in the team tournament. They were probably dissatisfied with this draw. How did you set up?
Kohei Uchimura: I started with a horse for the first time in four years of performing at various international competitions. There was no such practice, so I didn’t immediately find a way out. So it was exciting. But then I decided to think not about the start of the competition, but about its completion. To put a beautiful point, I had prepared brilliant freestyles.
What is the secret of your absolute success? This is your fourth title.
Kohei Uchimura: I'm just perfect for gymnastics. Plus, I have a clear understanding in my head of how to train, perform, recover, and rest.
Will you try to continue your winning streak at the next Olympics?
Kohei Uchimura: I keep the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro in mind. I'm only 23 years old. I want to get the most out of myself. Moreover, the dream of winning the Olympic team tournament so far it has not come true.
Direct speech
Marcel Nguyen, silver medalist in all-around:
Uchimura deserved this gold. He three-time champion peace. And now he has also won the Olympics. It will be difficult to catch up with him.
David Belyavsky, fifth result in the all-around:
The Japanese is a very talented athlete. What else can you say? But, despite all his titles, you can fight him, you can beat him. He is not some kind of robot; he does not perform automatically. He can also be nervous and make mistakes. And the qualification showed this. He made it to the finals with only the ninth total score. And I, as you remember, was second.

Personal views
Kohei Uchimura is an atheist.
Rio de Janeiro— Japan in the men's category artistic gymnastics won gold in the team championship at the Olympic Games, which she dreamed of. On Monday, she performed powerfully and confidently in the competition.
The team consisting of Kohei Uchimura, Ryohei Kato, Yusuke Tanaka, Kenzo Shirai and Koji Yamamuro at the Olympic Arena in Rio started slowly and swaying, but gradually got ahead of the leader Russia, and then confidently took first place, significantly ahead of everyone in the final.
Olympic debutant Shirai performed stunningly in the floor exercise, giving Japan the opportunity to overtake nearest rivals Russia and China. The final score of 274.094 points confirmed the victory of the Japanese Olympic team, which won gold in the team competition for the first time since the Athens 2004 Games.
“Now that I have received this medal, I really feel like this is a very real Olympic gold,” said team leader Uchimura, a six-time absolute champion peace. On Wednesday he will try to defend his individual Olympic title.
“I’ve won gold medals in individual events before, but this is a very special feeling. Winning gold together with my comrades gives me great happiness.”
Russia received silver medal, scoring 271.453 points. And China, which won gold in 2008 and 2012, took bronze with 271.122 points.
Shirai came second in the individual standings of the final, gaining points for the team at just the right moment. Japan approached the floor exercises in the finals, ahead of Russia and China by less than a point, but the 19-year-old gymnast brought the Japanese a huge number of points - 16.133, and all doubts about their golden victory disappeared by themselves.
“I felt a huge responsibility coming out onto the platform,” said Shirai, who will compete on floor exercise on Sunday. “The coach told me to work on everything that I failed during the qualifications, and I didn’t even think about the fact that I would fail. I knew that if I performed everything as usual, it would be great.”
Japan, which won the team event at the world championships in Glasgow last October after 37 years of failure, got off to a rocky start to the Olympics after Yamamuro fell off his pommel horse while performing the vault, which was the Japanese Olympians' first apparatus that evening.
“At first I started wondering why I missed the jump, but then I told myself that I should just go out and do what I can do, thinking only about it,” Yamamuro said.

Aftenposten 07.08.2016Due to Yamamuro's error, Japan found itself in sixth place after the first stage, but strong performances on the rings and vault brought the Japanese to second place behind Russia. And then Tanaka closed the gap with an excellent performance on parallel bars.
"After London Olympics I worked hard for four years and wanted to stay strong in this meet,” said Tanaka, who scored 15.9 on uneven bars, the highest on the team since Shirai’s on floor.
Japan had a very difficult time finding their pace in qualifying on Saturday. Uchimura slipped on his horse and fell off the crossbar, which is why everyone's nerves were strained to the limit before the final.
But a stable performance in the finals brought the team the prize that had eluded it at the last two Olympics. Shirai, who became the only Olympic debutant, was glad that the first attempt was successful.
“It has been my dream since I was a child to compete in the Olympics, especially when I saw the team lose in Beijing and London,” said Shirai, who studies at Japan Sports University. “So I still don’t fully believe that the Japanese team won the gold medal and that I’m part of the team.” I'm really happy, it's a great feeling."
Now that Japan's 12-year itch for Olympic honors has faded, Uchimura is hoping for more victories at home in four years. “What happened in Athens cannot be surpassed, but here we are making our own history,” said the 27-year-old from Nagasaki Prefecture. - I think we can transfer this to Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020."
“Such a result will put pressure on the gymnasts who will compete in the finals in 2020, but there are many worthy people in Japan. I would like them to see our achievements and learn from our experience as much as possible.”
