Searching for a Kohei video

I wasn't sure if I should post this in the regular forum or Olympic one. But I have been trying to find a video about Kohei. It was more like a promo. I think it aired during one of the BBC broadcasts. He is shown at various comps, there are drums pounding in the background, and towards the end I believe one of the BBC announcers says " He truly is the best in the world" or something along those lines. if any of you knows which video I'm referring to , I would greatly appreciate it. I hate when I come across something and then cannot remember where I saw it.

USA Gymnastics Failed to To Report Sex Abuse Allegations

MAG Podium training

It is time for Olympics. Let's start with Podium trainings. Any info?

MAG Podium training

Book : The End Of The Perfect 10

Dvora Meyers has written a book that covers how the open ended code evolved, the original open ended code ideas of Hardy Fink, with a brief history of women's gymnastics particularly in the USA. She interviewed several people including Nadia Comaneci and Nelli Kim.
I found the book very impressive. Easy to read and a balanced examination of the scoring system.
I would have liked an introduction on the history of the maximum score and the evolution of gymnastics scoring pre-1976 but that's probably me just being greedy. I would also have liked some photographs but that would have added to the publishing costs so i can understand why there are none. There are a few minor errors such as saying Davydova is 3 months younger than Comaneci whereas she is 3 months older but such minor errors don't take away from the quality of the writing.

Highly recommended. 9.9.

Olympic Anagrams

Podium training starts tomorrow so we'll have real things to occupy us, but for tonight I present you with the results of my Gymnast Name Anagrams! At least my attempts to form appropriate anagrams from the letters of their names. Some are better than others and occasionally I had to use the middle name to make it work but oh well. (Apologies to the Chinese girls but they have too few letters to make anything decent)

Alexandra Rose Raisman: Relax, Senor. Drama’s in AA.
(Aly’s always trying to calm someone down)

Simone Arianne Biles: A Sensible Name in Rio
(She’s running for president of the Olympics)

Gabby Douglas: USAG Gold, baby!
(almost too perfect)

Aliya Mustafina: I slay u in AAF mat
(Well, she’s always been a fierce competitor)

Angelina Melnikova: Evil amok in an angel
(More than just a pretty face apparently)

Daria Spiridinova: Avoid aspirin raid
(Poor girl is paranoid about drug testing now)

Mykayla Brooke Skinner: Okay, no kinky-arm rebels
(I assume this is what Martha was telling the selection committee in deliberations)

Ragan Smith: Sharing Mat
(Where Texas Dreams girls trade their beads)

Eythora Thorsdottir: O, hero artist doth try
(She may not win, but she’ll look pretty trying)

Sanne Wevers: Swans Veneer
(Sure, why not)

Larisa Andreea Iordache: Ah, a sad career deal in Rio
(:( )

Catalina Ponor: A National Crop
(Romania didn’t plant enough seeds so she’s all that’s left to harvest)

And finally:
Oksana Aleksandrovna Chusovitina: A rash icon sneaks in a vodka on vault.
(Don’t judge. She needs to calm her nerves before the Produnova)
