Olympic Inspiration

This story is one for everyone that you don’t ever know what will inspire someone, so don’t ever discount any work of art or artist.  Kohei Uchimura, World Champion Gymnast, just won Gold for the Men’s All-Around event for gymnastics at the 2012 London Olympics.  He stated that one of his inspirations for entering the sport and his work ethic in his training came from the manga Ganba! Fly High, that is centered around the sport of gymnastics.  The manga was co-created by Shinji Morisue, 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Gold Medalist for the Horizontal Bar, help create the manga for just this reason to inspire young individuals to enter the sport of gymnastics.
