2009 World Champion Kohei Uchimura continues to set himself apart in the all around. He put up a beastly 93.45 to win. In 2nd was Koji Yamamuro with a 91.100. Check out this incredible yurchenko 2.5. You need to see this:

On the women's side:

The competition was much weaker and the Russian women were clearly the dominant team. Ksenia Afanasyeva won the All Around with 58.35 and Koko Tsurimi of Japan was 2nd with 57.75.
