Uchimura: Heimsieg! |
Saturday, April 5 in Tokio it was the expected slugfest of Giants:
Again, invincible, the exceptional athlete Kohei UCHIMURA unveiled the all-around dream score of 92.898 (!), but on the heels was Germany's World champion's bronze medalist Fabian HAMBUECHEN, the only other gymnasts in the competition who broke through the 90-point barrier with a score of 90, 231 points and ranked second and the Japanese World's vice-champion Ryohei KATO (89.397) referred to 3rd place.
Because the World Cup leader Daniel Purvis (87.398) only finished fifth, Hambuechen moved to the fourth and final World Cup of the series equal with him and won, together with the Brit, the overall World Cup standings (125 pts) 2013/14. Much less busy and its status as the World Cup Final in no way justice to woman competition from just 7 gymnasts won Italy's "evergreen" Vanessa FERRARI with a moderate total score of 56.799,
