Gymnastics

Japan has won more medals in gymnastics than in any other Olympic sport. Together with 1992 Olympic silver medalist Yukio Iketani, we look back at how Japan grew to be one of the sport's leading nations, and explore the essence of the "beautiful gymnastics" its top gymnasts are renowned for. With Tokyo 2020 on the horizon, we see how the next generation of young talent is being trained, and introduce the incredible skills of current stars Kohei Uchimura and Kenzo Shirai.
