Kohei Uchimura, the double Olympic all-around gold medalist and six-time world-all around champ, suffered right ankle ligament damage on a vault landing last Tuesday, according to Japanese media.
Uchimura said the injury was not as serious as his left ankle ligament tear on a vault landing during all-around qualifying at the 2017 World Championships, which ended his streak as global all-around winner at eight years.
Uchimura, 29, said he could not walk for about a month after last year’s injury, but this time he was back on his feet two days later, according to Nikkan Sports.
