Uchimura wins gold at London worlds

Kohei Uchimura has a gold medal. It might be the first of many. Uchimura ran away with the men's title at the world gymnastics championships Oct. 15, adding it to his silver medal from the Beijing Olympics. He scored 91.500 points, more than 2 1/2 ahead of Daniel Keatings, who delighted the O2 Arena by giving Britain its first all-around medal.

Few people had even heard of Uchimura when he arrived at the Beijing Olympics. The Japanese had a veteran — and much decorated — team, and he was just a kid. But he showed he more than belonged, winning the silver medal in the all-around.

Now, with Olympic gold medalist and two-time defending world champion Yang Wei retired, Uchimura is the one everyone is chasing. And from the looks of it, no one's anywhere close. (AP)
