Ryohei Kato: "It has been an enjoyable Olympics"
「楽しいオリンピックだった」
"I changed my dismount from a D-value to a F-value, but I was too focused on that and I was sloppy on my other skills.
Of course I’m not happy about my placing, but I was able to perform this 6.8 difficulty routine for the first time in competition. Now after everything, I think it was a fun Olympics.
I was extremely happy to win Team Gold, but I didn’t do well in the Individual All-Around, so I’ll keep working hard. I’ll set goals and work towards them in the next four years."
(T/N: Today was the final day of Artistic Gymnastics in Rio - Ryohei increased his D from 6.6 to 6.8 for the PB finals with an upgraded dismount! He scored 15.233 and placed 7th in a fantastic final that saw Oleg Verniaiev take the Gold with 16.041. While the guys haven't had the most perfect event finals, they certainly achieved their biggest goal - the incredible Team Gold, once again stamping their mark as the top team in the world <3 Congrats also to Kenzo Shirai for taking the Bronze in the Vault final yesterday, his first major VT medal! 日本チームの皆さん、お疲れ様でした！)

Q: You were discussing how to climb the podium during the medal ceremony.
Ryohei Kato: We've always admired the medal ceremony in Athens, so we tried copying it. But because it was our first time, we couldn't do it very well and it was a little embarrassing.
