    Gymnastics: Proud Uchimura to mark career finale in March event

    Japanese artistic gymnastics great Kohei Uchimura, the 2012 and 2016 Olympic men's all-around gold medalist, looked back on his career with pride Friday as he announced his impending retirement. The 33-year-old, a six-time individual all-around world champion, said he will make one last appearance in a retirement event on March 12 at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, where he will give a demonstration on all six apparatus. Uchimura earned his fourth games berth for the Tokyo Olympics last summer but suffered a shock early exit as he focused solely on the horizontal bar following persistent shoulder problems. He had already decided to call time on his career when he finished sixth in the final of the same apparatus at the world championships in October in Kitakyushu, the southwestern Japan city where he was born.
