Uchimura Takes Two Titles at Toyota Cup
Japanese superstar Kohei Uchimura won two titles as the 2014 Toyota Cup ended Sunday in Toyota City.
The 2012 Olympic all-around champion, who won an unprecedented fourth world all-around title in October, won parallel bars and high bar to close out another successful season.
On parallel bars, Uchimura earned 9.1 Execution to edge teammate Ryohei Kato, 15.550-15.475. German star Marcel Nguyen won the bronze with 15.250.
Uchimura was in a class of his own on high bar, nailing a routine featuring a Cassina and stuck layout double-double for 15.750 (6.9 Difficulty). Germany's Andreas Toba won the silver with 14.925 over Korea's Park Eo Jin (14.225).
Asian gymnasts swept the medals on men's vault, with Korea's Kim Hee Hoon landing his triple-twisting Yurchenko to top Vietnam's Hoang Cuong. Kim's teammate Park Eo Jin won the bronze.
Kenzo Shirai, who like Kim also debuted the triple-twisting Yurchenko at the world championships in Antwerp, missed both his vaults in the final. Shirai, the world champion on floor exercise, was again untouchable on that event on Saturday.
Canadian Olympian Victoria Moors, who won the uneven bars title Saturday, added the floor exercise title and balance beam silver Sunday. She made her layout double-double — now named the Moors — on floor exercise, which even brought applause from male gymnasts watching. Coached by two-time Olympic champion Elvira Saadi, Moors also impressed with outstanding choreography and musical interpretation to win the title by more than a full point.
Japan's Natsumi Sasadi won the beam title, mounting with her outstanding round off, layout full-twist. Moors took second over Japanese Olympian Yu Minobe.
