Personally I think they shouldn’t have excluded his dismount when scoring him but instead subtract points from the execution because it was pretty sloppy and flawed.
@Crystal M I don't get what you're trying to get at with that second paragraph. That's how competitive sports especially ones like these are, it doesn't matter how perfect you are most of the time when practicing or whatever if you make a mistake on stage that's it, better luck next time which should be easy enough if they're as skilled as you say. Not shitting on him for his mistake just saying it's unfair for the other teams to play favoritism like that.
I do think that almost any other gymnast in that situation would have lost total control of the dismount. The fact that he kept any control AND managed to land on his feet deserves to be recognized and respected. It’s also well known that he could slay that routine 99 times out of 100 compared to the other two teams - so for his country to lose out entirely on a medal - JUST because of that routine….. I understand why it was looked at a second time.
@Lark Mancer right and that's why he got a really low score once they correctly counted the points after initially taking off points for a rule violation that never happened. That's.... What they say in the video.
@Matthew Hines Are you familiar with the rules and code of points for both men's and women's gymnastics? The only time I can ever think of a skill getting partial credit would be if a gymnast needed a C dismount but competed a B.
@Matthew Hineseven by definition fly means travel through the so a flying squirrel by definition is actually no its not propelling itself through the air, but gliding which is synonymous with flying.
@StarWarsomania actually it would be more like when u don't know the answer but randomly stumble into it but you don't actually know how to show your work
@sarah shaw actually the comments that I see being told by actual gymnastics said it was a dismount I just saw the rules in the regional rules and there it was said that if landed oblique there would be points taken Normally it should be adjacent but if not the points will be taken which was his case I'm not a gymnastics but that's what I understand when reading the rules
@猫Crazzy I mean believe what you want but I don’t see these same comments you talk of. And I also see that the said person doesn’t dismount within the rules. The rules the judges follow. Japan threw a hissy fit so nobody wanted to look any further into it.
While I think they should give him partial credit for the dismount, the look on Uchimura's face makes it pretty clear he was not happy with how he performed.
@ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ :D I don't know who says "yeah no shit" to strangers unless my intention is to be rude lmao. But the original commenter was giving their opinion and they seemed really upset just with the general observation in the second half .
@crafting mac .. I was discussing why this behavior from a coach isnt a vibe and used my 10 year old self as an example… meanwhile you’re throwing a temper tantrum because you have no real point or opinion.
@crafting mac Well now we both know that you’re the one crying about it because you can’t come up with anything more intelligent to say than “cry about it”. Chronically online much?
That's wasn't a dismount, that was, in the words of buzz lightyear, falling with style. He didn't land in line with his last hand placement, nor was he facing the long side of the horse.
@no nothen buzz at the end of the movie, byt when buzz said it, it was a call back and had a more meaningful impact so that's why people remember that but not Woody's jab/joke
@TheRobotello well a good few of us know the sport well. I was a competitive gymnast then a coach then a judge so yah I'd say I understand how it works.
That’s what happened, they added the dismount to his original score but with the error deductions still making it a low score but pushing him onto the podium
Phenomenal gymnast, yes, but even he can make mistakes, and that was a sloppy dismount. The judges' initial ruling was accurate, in my opinion. EDIT: I know it still technically counts as a dismount and amended my opinion later on in the comments.
@HickoryDickory86 I admire you for your honesty and willingness to admit your error. Idk enough about gymnastics, although I once did when I was like 8 or 9, to say one way or the other. However, as long as it WAS a dismount? Getting some credit for your overall performance is sure as Fuck better than many other reasons. It could have been for status, or race, gender, sexuality, country of origin, or even money! I'd rather have it be from a history of doing exactly what you're being judged on.
They were wrong & the coach just used his gymnast’s status! Even so-called greats phukk up & he definitely deserved to be fourth! The judges screwed Ukraine.
Depending on how old and how dedicated you are, you can get there. But you'll have to be very deliberate, and it will take years of small steps on the way to that level of skill. If you can learn to enjoy the process, you don't have to just daydream about that.
It’s still a dismount. It was sloppy but he did all the things for it to be considered one. Plus he didn’t fall. So it is considered a dismount. Didn’t know why they just didn’t take points off his execution though
Personally in my professional opinion having carefully meditated in the multitude of factors invilved and after thorough and meticulous analysis of the incident and all of the possible ramifications it is my conclusion that I know exactly jack shit about gymnastics and therefore don't have an opinion.
that wasn't a dismount, that was a controlled fall. there's no way someone as good as him would purposely dismount that sloppy. no way that's worth 2nd place
To go from 4th to 2nd was unfair. He didn't land it properly and should have been penalised for it. To knock Great Britain off Silver was completely unjustified.
I have no idea if he should've got the point or not, my opinion is worthless as I know nothing about gymnastics and I'm about as coordinated as a drunk elephant. I'm just here because I find gymnasts to be impressive as fu*k. That's my 2p. 👍🏾
I want a deeper dive into this from both sides of the "debate" Also why is there a debate? There is video recording and there are rules. It should be easy for the judges to be consistent in their scores and not as vastly varied as this one turned out to be.
The rules are vague and open to interpretation, if it says he has to land facing a specific point to count, if you take a computer and he is 5 degrees the wrong way should you count? 99.99% of all athletes will not receive credit if that's the case because it's nearly impossible to be that precise, so you need tolerance, but since you can't measure properly that tolerance can't be written, it needs to be interpreted, and that allows that everything can be counted, and everything can be discounted, it really depends on the judges, and that's how every single sport with judges rating athletes work, from surf to boxing, from gymnastics to synchronized swimming, etc... Every sport with judges rating athletes are EXTREMELY subjective.
No offence, but..... If there's gonna BE A "reason," that's a pretty valid one. It's not his race, height, country, coach, bribe, or status in society. It was still his overall ABILITY. I say there are worse reasons.
It was sloppy yes, but excluding points is unnecessary, he should’ve gotten the points, but they could’ve subtracted the points instead, that way it’s not making it seem like it’s rigged in anyway
i don’t think he should have gotten like full points for it but definitely should have originally been included. the rules are “clear” and he did what he technically was supposed to do, don’t like it? should have clarified the rules when being written then
Not gonna say my name, but I remember competing against cypress my whole life and seeing you a couple age groups above me. Glad to see you bringing some publicity to the sport!
I'm no gymnist but I like seeing Japan beat Europe because of how salty they get when losing at any competitive sport. Such salt lasts several months after so it is known as the gift that keeps on giving
If we’re being one hundred percent unbiased, he looked like he fucked up. I can’t imagine as the best male gymnast *ever* you decided to dismount diagonally for some reasons because you thought it would give you extra points or something? Like everyone knows you’re better than everyone else and that you usually have full control of your body, but even from a first glance you can see he messed that the fuck up. There’s no and, it’s or buts, you fucked that shit up, but got away with it because of your status. I don’t believe anyone else gets away with that as someone who likes sports, you only ever get overturned things if you are very persistent and famous. I’ve watched other saves in gymnastics that made it look like you meant to do that, but that was clearly uncontrolled and you were able to get lucky with the landing tho. Yes you should get partially points for a great landing, but definitely did not mean that at all.
Count it, but it looks so sloppy. Execution errors all around. It looks like he half fell off the horse. I keep watching and it looks like he technically fulfilled the requirements for the dismount, just not very well.
For those who wonder why his record would give him the benefit of doubt, look at it as if it where a banks credit, the more you have, the more money you can borrow. So the better your reputation, the best outcomes you can get form others.
To be honest for me it looks like he made an error and than tryed to save himself by quickly changing the weight of his center in order to get a somewhat safe dismount instead of risking his body and creer as an athlet.
That dismount was horrible and I only did gymnastics for 2 years and I could see that. Now given he was doing something I could not but that doesn’t take away from the fact he fucked yo and tried to cover it with a “smooth” dismount which didn’t happen smoothly
Dude! The greatest gymnast of all time is Sawao Katō. He is Kōhei's coach btw (he also dedicated his post-gymnatics career to training over 10 generations of Japanese male and female gymansts)
Aw now come on!, he may have landed here he was last hand placement was, but only barely, then he lost his balance, negating his actual landing, as he didn't stick' his actual landing, Sorry but I'm with the original judges decision here
how can u end with a statement like that after saying and showing he followed all the requirements of the dismount. I dont know a thing about gymnastics but looks like he did follow the rules so if anything the controversy should be the judges didnt want to give him a score for it.
If someone could react to themselves falling that quickly and make it seem fine in a matter of point second reaction, I'd give em the points cause I know ain't no normal person doing something like that that well
Sorry but I'm with the judges first call. That did not look like he even intended to come off the horse and just made the best of it without completely falling.
I've always felt he should have gotten credit for the dismount but with lots of execution errors
@Aush Begosh for scoring they call it a dismount unless you are completely over the horse, then they call it a fall. That's the rules.
@ChrisAndCats no falling, he slipped.
He might be the greatest but he's not perfect
Yeah I always felt the same, that damn dismount man…..
Yeah it looks like a mistake but a hell of an effort
Personally I think they shouldn’t have excluded his dismount when scoring him but instead subtract points from the execution because it was pretty sloppy and flawed.
only reason he got credit is he hit handstand, and corrected his direction....just a deduction for that
@Crystal M I don't get what you're trying to get at with that second paragraph. That's how competitive sports especially ones like these are, it doesn't matter how perfect you are most of the time when practicing or whatever if you make a mistake on stage that's it, better luck next time which should be easy enough if they're as skilled as you say.

@Mr. Seriousshoot it’s better than what I can do lol
@Lark Mancer right and that's why he got a really low score once they correctly counted the points after initially taking off points for a rule violation that never happened. That's.... What they say in the video.
I think because it wasn't controlled, it should partially count.
Thank you everyone. I did a lot of gymnastics, so I'm not just talking out my neck.
Why would you talk out of your neck and not your mouth?
@Matthew Hines Are you familiar with the rules and code of points for both men's and women's gymnastics? The only time I can ever think of a skill getting partial credit would be if a gymnast needed a C dismount but competed a B.
@Matthew Hineseven by definition fly means travel through the so a flying squirrel by definition is actually no its not propelling itself through the air, but gliding which is synonymous with flying.
@Matthew Hinesyoure like a doctor arguing the difference between throat and trachea.
To be fair,this dismount looked more like he fell and tried to improvise that fall into a failed dismount.
@StarWarsomania actually it would be more like when u don't know the answer but randomly stumble into it but you don't actually know how to show your work
@sarah shaw that was also writen in the rule page
And that only mean he lost points and not that it doesn't count as a dismount
@猫Crazzy he didn’t even land facing the right way nor with his feet next to each other. He quickly turned his body and told upright.
@sarah shaw actually the comments that I see being told by actual gymnastics said it was a dismount
I just saw the rules in the regional rules and there it was said that if landed oblique there would be points taken
Normally it should be adjacent but if not the points will be taken which was his case
I'm not a gymnastics but that's what I understand when reading the rules
@猫Crazzy I mean believe what you want but I don’t see these same comments you talk of. And I also see that the said person doesn’t dismount within the rules. The rules the judges follow. Japan threw a hissy fit so nobody wanted to look any further into it.
While I think they should give him partial credit for the dismount, the look on Uchimura's face makes it pretty clear he was not happy with how he performed.
@Wizard Syndicate I don't think you know who I'm talking to lmao.
Edit: I'm so confused about your comment so what the original reply said??
@Masked Angel he said no shit because he did get a lower score on the dismount…
@ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ :D I don't know who says "yeah no shit" to strangers unless my intention is to be rude lmao. But the original commenter was giving their opinion and they seemed really upset just with the general observation in the second half .
@Satirics that's probably how they talk, and their intentions wasn't to become rude or anything that's considered bad.
@carson jeez, those lonely balls seem to be loading lots of stress
Way to fight for your athlete coach!
@I Fly Kaya wahhhh wahhh 😢
@crafting mac .. I was discussing why this behavior from a coach isnt a vibe and used my 10 year old self as an example… meanwhile you’re throwing a temper tantrum because you have no real point or opinion.
@crafting mac Well now we both know that you’re the one crying about it because you can’t come up with anything more intelligent to say than “cry about it”. Chronically online much?
@I Fly Kaya cry about it
I'm not a gymnast but to my untrained eye it looks very sloppy ans like an accident, and I can understand why they chose not to give him the points.
@Ptoktedia he can but he doesn't understand
@Pointless Guy can you read?
But really you dont know anything about it do you
Man really put Ukraine in the title for the views
@Kaliana Ke-Leibner but he only put #Ukraine not Japan or any other country he was up against
Since he went to second place that knocks Ukraine into 4th and off the podium. He’s right though
I mean Ukrainians are great gymnasts.
Thank you! Like ... wth? 🥴
smh u right
That's wasn't a dismount, that was, in the words of buzz lightyear, falling with style. He didn't land in line with his last hand placement, nor was he facing the long side of the horse.
@nono7105 omg duh, of course it was!
@SoloingYaVerse I don't remember that.
@no nothen buzz at the end of the movie, byt when buzz said it, it was a call back and had a more meaningful impact so that's why people remember that but not Woody's jab/joke
It was Woody that said that.
@TheRobotello well a good few of us know the sport well. I was a competitive gymnast then a coach then a judge so yah I'd say I understand how it works.
Honestly feel like he shouldve gotten some points, but with a lot of error deduction
@John that's cause they saw the video again and it matched the criteria of dismount
So even if sloppy he shoulg be given points
@LobbyTheLobsterTV after the dispute though
That’s what happened, they added the dismount to his original score but with the error deductions still making it a low score but pushing him onto the podium
As someone who has no idea what they’re looking at, it looked like he fell off
Phenomenal gymnast, yes, but even he can make mistakes, and that was a sloppy dismount. The judges' initial ruling was accurate, in my opinion.
EDIT: I know it still technically counts as a dismount and amended my opinion later on in the comments.

They were wrong & the coach just used his gymnast’s status! Even so-called greats phukk up & he definitely deserved to be fourth! The judges screwed Ukraine.
It was a dismount even us a sloppy one... he should have medaled but as Bronze not Silver
Agreed
No hate but... clearly he fell and tried to make it look like messed up landing. 😒
To be fair, he didn't dismount, he fell off and just managed to find his footing. So I think the judges initial score was the correct one.
He still managed to dismount even though he fell so the inquiry was justified
I swear olympic gymnasts have the most annoying and goofiest rules imagineable.
Second only to figure skaters, who can't even dispute their scores at all 🙃
Am I the only one who daydreams about myself doing amazing stuff like this😭
@ItWasMe! He actually is, he’s highly rated
The guy fell that isn’t amazing dream higher and train to be better
These people train since very young age
@LinkEX You're so sweet! I'm already a teenager though, it's not likely I'll be able to develop the skills for something awesome like this.
Depending on how old and how dedicated you are, you can get there.
But you'll have to be very deliberate, and it will take years of small steps on the way to that level of skill.
If you can learn to enjoy the process, you don't have to just daydream about that.
That's not a dismount. It's a sloppy fall off the apparatus and he put his hands up at the end.
@Emily Hu they did take points off for the poor execution, that's why he only got 7 points for the dismount
It’s still a dismount. It was sloppy but he did all the things for it to be considered one. Plus he didn’t fall. So it is considered a dismount. Didn’t know why they just didn’t take points off his execution though
Sloppy fall but stuck the landing and made it look good
I’m no gymnast expert but to my eyes that dismount looked sloppy as hell
I mean, it's an awful dismount, but it is a dismount.
Personally in my professional opinion having carefully meditated in the multitude of factors invilved and after thorough and meticulous analysis of the incident and all of the possible ramifications it is my conclusion that I know exactly jack shit about gymnastics and therefore don't have an opinion.
Sorry but that was a bad dismount. That’s 100% not what he meant to do and what happened to judges not watching videos and changing their choices
that wasn't a dismount, that was a controlled fall. there's no way someone as good as him would purposely dismount that sloppy. no way that's worth 2nd place
He fell off lol😂 he saved it but idk how scoring works
Lol bro definitely fell off
To go from 4th to 2nd was unfair. He didn't land it properly and should have been penalised for it. To knock Great Britain off Silver was completely unjustified.
Bros a Britain meat rider 🍖🚴
I have no idea if he should've got the point or not, my opinion is worthless as I know nothing about gymnastics and I'm about as coordinated as a drunk elephant. I'm just here because I find gymnasts to be impressive as fu*k. That's my 2p. 👍🏾
Yeah he shouldn’t have been given the points. Sometimes people mess up and even the best in the world shouldn’t get free points for it
Great job, coach
I want a deeper dive into this from both sides of the "debate"
Also why is there a debate? There is video recording and there are rules. It should be easy for the judges to be consistent in their scores and not as vastly varied as this one turned out to be.
@Sodapop Cowboyit was before the war
@Pedro Thevenard Also politics. Think of the morale boost for Ukraine to be at the top.
The rules are vague and open to interpretation, if it says he has to land facing a specific point to count, if you take a computer and he is 5 degrees the wrong way should you count? 99.99% of all athletes will not receive credit if that's the case because it's nearly impossible to be that precise, so you need tolerance, but since you can't measure properly that tolerance can't be written, it needs to be interpreted, and that allows that everything can be counted, and everything can be discounted, it really depends on the judges, and that's how every single sport with judges rating athletes work, from surf to boxing, from gymnastics to synchronized swimming, etc... Every sport with judges rating athletes are EXTREMELY subjective.
That wasn’t a dismount, that was falling with style
When you work incredibly hard to become the greatest anything of all time, you definitely deserve the benefit of the doubt. No foul.
wow. imagine being so good, when you obviously mess up you still win.
He looks like he fell and tried to make it count
He fell and and the coach made it count*
Unless is against the rules the coach is right
As they say technically right is the best kind of right
I mean he clearly messed up, but it looks like he salvaged it. Should definitely get partial credit imo
Looked sloppy af like he had something else planned but then messed up.
The judges were right
@arzfan29 Oh okay, so if he just fell off and broke his neck, he should get full points? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They werent, of course its not a good dismount but just score it low not with a 0 since its still a dismount per rule
No they weren't, a dismount is a dismount
That wasn’t a dismount. He fell and then tried to recover.
I mean regardless of how it fit the rules, it was really sloppy, uncontrolled, and looked like an accident. Give him some points, but not a lot.
Idk, it looked like he fell off
@largest brain true but less points makes sence since it looked really scuffed
Still a dismount, whether you fall off or not
No offence, but..... If there's gonna BE A "reason," that's a pretty valid one. It's not his race, height, country, coach, bribe, or status in society. It was still his overall ABILITY. I say there are worse reasons.
He fu**ed up. Still, he is the GOAT.
It was sloppy yes, but excluding points is unnecessary, he should’ve gotten the points, but they could’ve subtracted the points instead, that way it’s not making it seem like it’s rigged in anyway
to me, someone who has no idea how gymnastic scoring works, it just looks like he fell, but he fell with ✨️style✨️
As somebody who doesn't know gymnastics it just looks like he slipped off and got lucky by landing on his feet
Looking at how the man almost fell and could've landed really ugly yet managed to save himself does deserve some credit.
No way that dismount deserved second place...
It wasn't just his, it was the team score but that dismount deserved at least a 0.5
Somehow, everyone is now a gymnast on Clip-Share comment.
It's obviously a tough one but regardless you can see how hard Kohei tried to save it. What a gymnast
Nah he missed the dismount , it was sloppy and uncontrolled and the jduges decision is good
He was the best , this wasn’t his best
I'm not a gymnast... But that dismount was an obvious woopsie lol
i don’t think he should have gotten like full points for it but definitely should have originally been included. the rules are “clear” and he did what he technically was supposed to do, don’t like it? should have clarified the rules when being written then
He looked like he lost balance and fell. The judges' reaction was appropriate
How about not having sports where 99% of the scoring of subjective. Also talking to you ice skating. Just stupid
i know nothing about gymnastics but to me it just looks like he fell off and saved the landing
Me as a judge: oh that was cool 10 points
when the judges get judged
He fell tho.
Not gonna say my name, but I remember competing against cypress my whole life and seeing you a couple age groups above me. Glad to see you bringing some publicity to the sport!
I'm no gymnist but I like seeing Japan beat Europe because of how salty they get when losing at any competitive sport. Such salt lasts several months after so it is known as the gift that keeps on giving
If we’re being one hundred percent unbiased, he looked like he fucked up. I can’t imagine as the best male gymnast *ever* you decided to dismount diagonally for some reasons because you thought it would give you extra points or something? Like everyone knows you’re better than everyone else and that you usually have full control of your body, but even from a first glance you can see he messed that the fuck up. There’s no and, it’s or buts, you fucked that shit up, but got away with it because of your status. I don’t believe anyone else gets away with that as someone who likes sports, you only ever get overturned things if you are very persistent and famous.
I’ve watched other saves in gymnastics that made it look like you meant to do that, but that was clearly uncontrolled and you were able to get lucky with the landing tho. Yes you should get partially points for a great landing, but definitely did not mean that at all.
Yk no one is perfect...so even the BEST can make mistakes sometimes . It's like u think BEST ever cannot make mistake and they shouldn't f- up
It was a sloppy dismount but it was a dismount
It straight up looks like he slipped off from the first angle
Count it, but it looks so sloppy. Execution errors all around. It looks like he half fell off the horse. I keep watching and it looks like he technically fulfilled the requirements for the dismount, just not very well.
That song fire asf no cap🔥🔥🔥
I dont know shit about this sport, but its kinda weird for him to get a 0 on somethingnhe managed to do, albiet looking sketchy as hell.
Wow, a Japanese person actually arguing. That must have been scary
Btw the coach knew the rules, the judges didn't. I wouldn't qualify this as arguing.
Have you been to Japan?
Bro fell off and got full points 💀
Why da heck can you earn 0.001 of a point
Yeah his dismount should have counted (I've never ever seen gymnastics even once in my life wth is a dismount)
I mean after being iced out for so long u gotta give him credit for still landing the botched dismount
He clearly fell, it's not a dismount if you fell
I mean no disrespect, but it looks like he fell. I dunno, I'm not a pro gymnast. 😅
But it met the requirements, right?
For those who wonder why his record would give him the benefit of doubt, look at it as if it where a banks credit, the more you have, the more money you can borrow. So the better your reputation, the best outcomes you can get form others.
I mean he technically landed it.. but it was kinda slopsters
I'm no gymnast, but it looks like he falls off to me.
How is the debate whether he dismounted or not? He got off the thing, therefore "dismounting". What's the issue????
Whether he dismounted or simply fell off
it looked like he fell off of the horse why would he get credit for that.
It did look sloppy. Not gonna lie.
He did what the rules say but it was extremely messy but he’s better then I could ever be in my life 😅
I'd say he got it. Based on the rules, he falls within bounds.
I mean it looked messed up but shouldn't have hurt him as badly as it did. Four places down? For the fucking dismount?
Eh? Which also means that he scored pretty high than others cuz it’s still 4th place and others had their dismount counted
He had a coach that knew how to appeal.
I mean I don't know jack about this but he did look like he dismounted, just didn't do it properly
I was under the impression that a dismount was something you did on purpose, rather than missing with your hand and falling off the damn thing LOL
He landed it he should get the score
To be honest for me it looks like he made an error and than tryed to save himself by quickly changing the weight of his center in order to get a somewhat safe dismount instead of risking his body and creer as an athlet.
Give his coach props. He went in for him
I mean it looked kinda janky, almost like he slipped and tried to improvise with it
Nah, he basically fell off but managed to keep his footing. His shoulder was under the horse as he went off the side. It’s a half score at best.
That dismount was horrible and I only did gymnastics for 2 years and I could see that. Now given he was doing something I could not but that doesn’t take away from the fact he fucked yo and tried to cover it with a “smooth” dismount which didn’t happen smoothly
Honestly when you’re the goat of your sport, I think you’ve earned the benefit of the doubt at least once
I mean he did land facing the other direction and had to turn with half step to face the proper direction so I'd definitely ding him for that.
Dude! The greatest gymnast of all time is Sawao Katō. He is Kōhei's coach btw (he also dedicated his post-gymnatics career to training over 10 generations of Japanese male and female gymansts)
He got lucky. That wasn’t a dismount. Plain and simple.
Aw now come on!, he may have landed here he was last hand placement was, but only barely, then he lost his balance, negating his actual landing, as he didn't stick' his actual landing, Sorry but I'm with the original judges decision here
how can u end with a statement like that after saying and showing he followed all the requirements of the dismount. I dont know a thing about gymnastics but looks like he did follow the rules so if anything the controversy should be the judges didnt want to give him a score for it.
If someone could react to themselves falling that quickly and make it seem fine in a matter of point second reaction, I'd give em the points cause I know ain't no normal person doing something like that that well
@DeliriumCS it did cost him points, he just got some back
No shit that's why it's a competition, this isn't normal people it's professionals, mistakes happen but it should of costed him the points
People named „Kohei“ are basically always incredibly gifted with talent
That's called a good coach with a good eye
Sorry but I'm with the judges first call. That did not look like he even intended to come off the horse and just made the best of it without completely falling.
@Nathan Monahan yeah but that doesnt mean what you said is worth a dime girl
