Kouhei Uchimura

  

              Kouhei Uchimura is Japanese artistic gymnast.  He was born January 3, 1989 in Nagasaki.   He belongs to the KONAMI team now.  The KONAMI team is Japanese artistic gymnast team.  He won two silver medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.  His best event is the floor competition.

His performance is very beautiful because it’s always smooth but it has great power.  So, I like it.  Recently, he won two gold medals at the World Championships in Tokyo.  Its performance is beautiful too.  I felt he is strong because he isn’t upset by pressure.

His favorite foods are chocolate and bananas.  He especially likes black thunder.  Black thunder is Japanese chocolate sweet.  So, he has little contradiction between his profession and his eating style.  I like them and cheer him.
