Kohei Uchimura, the 2012 and 2016 Olympic all-around champion from Japan, tested positive for the coronavirus and was asymptomatic as of Thursday, according to reports quoting the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) president.
Uchimura was in “very stable condition,” FIG President Morinari Watanabe said, according to the reports.
Uchimura, who won all eight Olympic and world all-around titles from 2009-16, was due to headline a return-to-competition international meet among Japan, China, Russia and the U.S. in Tokyo next weekend.
Uchimura could still compete if retests next Wednesday and Thursday are negative, according to Reuters.
