Message from Asics Japan to Kohei Uchimura

Dear King,

You have said with much conviction: “I have never compromised anything these past five years.” This shows how much you have trained.

To attain your objectives you had to courage to even throw away your pride. You unconditionally believe in the power of sports.

Not only the results count. We believe it’s this spirit and how we saw you making these challenges that make you the King of Gymnastics.

You went to four Olympics and won six World Championships consecutively. The path you have pioneered will never disappear.

Please keep moving forward with your pride.

Kohei Uchimura - The GOAT on how he felt watching the athletes who looked up to him soaring to first place without him: “I saw them sorting out their problems on their own and I felt I wasn’t needed anymore (in a good way).”
