Reigning Olympic and world all-around gymnastics champion Kohei Uchimura won his eighth consecutive NHK Cup on Thursday.

As usual, Uchimura was in a league of his own, totaling 184.650 points to finish comfortably ahead of Ryohei Kato (180.100), who beat Yusuke Tanaka by just 0.100 to punch his ticket to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

The remaining three places on Japan's men's team, plus the backups, will be decided after the National Apparatus Championships on June 4-5.
