Shirai heads to gymnastics worlds after winning floor title at nationals Kenzo Shirai booked his place in this year’s world championships after winning the floor exercise title in the national individual apparatus championships on Sunday.Shirai marked an outstanding 16.450 points at Tokyo’s Yoyogi National Gymnasium with an even more dynamic performance than he has done in the past to clinch his place in the worlds for the third year running.“I felt that had I been able to perform to my standards I was a lock to make the worlds,” said Shirai, who earned the moniker ‘Mr. Twist’ at his eye-catching worlds debut two years ago. “I’m not all that surprised by the score.” -- source link
