NHK Trophy Artistic Gymnastics Championship
The NHK Trophy Artistic Gymnastics Championship (Japanese: NHK杯体操選手権) is one of the Japanese gymnastics competitions.[1] The first convention was held in 1962. It often doubles as a preliminary competition to determine the Japanese national team for the Olympics and World Gymnastics Championship.[2]
Results of the tournament
- Note
* At the 13th NHK Trophy Gymnastics Championships in 1974, the East German team was invited to compete in Japan, as it was considered a foreign powerhouse at the time and the tournament was known as one of the strongest and highest-level competitions in the world. Wolfgang Thüne and Angelika Hellmann demonstrated why the East German team was so powerful at the time and achieved excellent results by winning the men’s and women’s individual all-around titles.
* Daisuke Nishikawa won the 27th NHK Trophy in 1988 at the age of 18, becoming the youngest japanese winner of an individual all-around title and went on to appear at the Seoul Olympics in the same year. In November 2019, at the All-Around Super Final held in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, the gymnast Daiki Hashimoto became the youngest gymnast to win the all-around title since Daisuke Nishikawa in 1988, at the age of 18 years and 3 months, a month after making his international debut.[23]
* The 2020 edition of the NHK Trophy Gymnastics Championship was canceled due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
