Kohei Uchimura fell in qualifying. He crashed to the mat in the team final. But in the all-around, the competition he owns, Uchimura stayed on his feet and in a class by himself.
The Japanese icon extended his record with a sixth straight dominant World all-around title in Glasgow, Scotland, on Friday. No other gymnast — man or woman — has won more than three titles.
Uchimura prevailed by a comfortable 1.634 points over Manrique Larduet, whose silver medal marked the best finish for a Cuban in any Olympic or World Championships gymnastics event.
