Yuya Kamoto

Yuya Kamoto is a gymnast from Tokyo, born in September 1994, and honestly that combination alone tells you something — artistic gymnastics is one of those sports that demands you give your entire childhood to it, and he grew up with it as the son of a former gymnast, Kenji Kamoto. He won all-around gold at the 2010 Youth Olympics and again at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, adding team and parallel bars titles. What I know for certain is that making it as a competitive gymnast at any level requires a kind of obsessive daily precision that most people will never understand from the stands. Turning professional in 2025, past the age of 30, tells me he is one of those who keep putting in unglamorous hours long after everyone else went home.
