| Tomita was the top qualifier for Universiade. |
This year the 2005 Universiade will be held in Izmir, Turkey. Five Japanese
men qualified for the Japanese Universiade team. These men include: Hiroyuki
Tomita, Takehiro Kashima, Yosuke Baba, Shun Kuwabara and Takehito Mori.
Tomita won the overall competition. His best events were rings and horizontal
bar. His rings have added a slow back roll to maltese cross from a beautiful
planche.
Kashima is past world champion on side horse and horizontal bar. In this competition, his parallel bars and rings substantially improved. His rings, for example, had a lack of strong stunts, but what he did (kip to maltese cross, lower to back lever and pull to cross) did not look weak by any stretch of the imagination.
Baba was also strong on every event.... but his best was parallel bars,
where he performed a high and clean piked morisue (double back sommie to
overarm hang.)
Kuwabara's best stunt was a laid out thomas on floor exercise (one and
a half back sommie with one and a half twist to forward roll.)
Mori had a very weak ring routine, but finished with a beautiful piked
double front sommie dismount. On horizontal bar he performed a piatti with
full twist.... (stoop circle to reverse hecht with full twist). Today,
however, he performed the piatti without a full twist... just a straight
body reverse hecht with legs together.
