What makes Brazil🇧🇷 different from every other WAG program. All its veterans continued to train deep into their 30s. They didn’t see the younger gymnasts as rivals, but instead took them under their wing & were willing to teach them everything they know.

Most legends in sports bow out early, or feel that competing in a diminished role is beneath them. Kohei Uchimura was not one of those types. He has the purest heart of any competitor where no amount of medals or victory can undermine that what they love most is the game itself.
