Artistic Gymnastics World Championships 2021: Hashimoto Daiki, Rebeca Andrade among the 8 Olympic champions participating

The Hindu  

Hashimoto Daiki of Japan and Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade are among the top contenders at the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships 2021 held in Kitakyushu, Japan from October 18- 24, after their Tokyo 2020 stint. In the absence of United States’ Simone Biles, who won the women’s all-around title every year but one since 2013, Andrade, who took gold on women’s vault and silver in the all-around two months ago in Tokyo 2020, is one of the names in the mix for the all-around title. Andrade, the Olympic gold medallist on vault, will be the favourite for gold once again in the apparatus finals, while Great Britain’s Becky Downie, a 2008 and 2016 Olympian, will enter as the reigning world uneven bars silver medallist. His compatriot, Uchimura Kohei, who has won six consecutive world all-around titles between 2009 and 2015 and Olympic all-around titles from London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016 will seek to win his 11th World championship gold.
