A Casual Chat with Yang Hak-seon and Kohei Uchimura: The Masters of Gymnastics
Yang Hak-seon: Hey Kohei, it’s great to catch up! It’s been a while since we competed together. How have you been?
Kohei Uchimura: Hey, Hak-seon! I’ve been good, staying busy with training and mentoring the younger gymnasts. It’s interesting watching them try to tackle the skills we made famous. How about you?
Yang Hak-seon: Same here, man. It’s been a whirlwind since the 2012 Olympics, but I’m always excited to get back in the gym. You remember the adrenaline rush of hitting the Yang 1 vault perfectly, right?
Kohei Uchimura: Oh, definitely. The Yang 1 is legendary! I’ve seen a lot of gymnasts attempt it, but nobody does it with your flair. How does it feel knowing you’ve got a move named after you?
Yang Hak-seon: It’s surreal, honestly. I never imagined that attempting something new would leave such a lasting mark. But let’s not forget, Kohei, you’ve got quite a few skills and medals under your belt too. Any favorite moments from your incredible career?
Kohei Uchimura: Ah, there’ve been so many highlights. But if I had to pick, winning the All-Around Gold at the 2012 London Olympics was pretty special. The level of competition was so high, and the atmosphere was electric. Speaking of which, your gold medal performance on the vault was one of the standout moments!
Yang Hak-seon: Thanks, Kohei! The London games were definitely a pivotal moment for both of us. It’s funny, despite being in different events, we share that same passion and determination. By the way, have you been following the latest gymnastic trends? Some of the new skills are mind-blowing!
Kohei Uchimura: Absolutely! The sport continues to evolve, and the level of difficulty is through the roof today. It’s great to see the younger generation pushing the boundaries. Makes me feel proud, yet slightly old at the same time, hahaha!
Yang Hak-seon: Hahaha, I get what you mean. The new generation is truly inspiring. It’s motivating to see them take what we’ve done and push it even further. I guess that’s the beauty of gymnastics – it’s always moving forward.
Kohei Uchimura: Couldn’t agree more, Hak-seon. Here’s to the future of gymnastics and to those moments when our paths might cross again, whether in competitions or mentoring the next champions.
Yang Hak-seon: Cheers to that, Kohei! Let’s keep inspiring and guiding the future stars. Who knows, maybe we’ll see another “Yang” and “Uchimura” in the making soon.
Kohei Uchimura: That would be amazing. Till then, let’s enjoy the journey. Always a pleasure catching up with you, Hak-seon.
Yang Hak-seon: Likewise, Kohei. Till next time, my friend!
