    Will you be posting any training videos? Personally I really enjoyed the Hamms’ site, their training videos were very entertaining, and showed off a little bit of the artistry that is now in short supply in our sport. Your gymnastics certainly possesses artistry, and the best way for fans of our sport to appreciate that artistry is watch it for themselves.

    That said, the site is great; the entries are very well written and interesting.

    @ Gymnastdude Thanks for your comment. I think doing a video section will be a great idea. That might be the next thing I’ll add. Thanks for checking the site out!

    I was wondering if you might like to comment on how the difficulty values of routines are changing from the last quadrennium to this one. Has the success of the Chinese in team competitions over the last several years (partly as a result of their start value advantages over other nations) caused a greater focus on increasing difficulty? Has increasing difficulty been an important topic for the US men’s program? How much do you plan to increase the difficulty of your sets during this quadrennium?

    Any answer would be appreciated.

  11. shonakamori July 7, 2009 at 7:59 pm

    @Gymnastdude The current code of points (open-ended system) definitely pushes gymnasts to increase their start score. In fact, several skills have been devalued since last quadrennium, hence more gymnasts are trying to add in more complex skills to their sets. Unfortunately it’s difficult to upkeep the artistry side of gymnastics when there is so much demand for harder skills. Personally, I believe that this is a very sad thing for the sport of gymnastics. I believe our sport is called “Artistic Gymnastics” for a reason, but this “artistic” aspect is on its decline due to the current code.

    And so you’re right, having a difficult routine is important. Like you said, take a look at the Chinese team for example. They had so much difficulty in the ’08 Olympics that they could’ve fallen on several places and still won with a fairly big margin. With this in mind, the US is also putting a lot of focus on raising difficulty. In fact, a new rule set by USAG says that a gymnast will receive bonus for competing a routine of a certain start score.

    Since the code of points demands it, I’ll also try to raise my difficulty. But at the same time, I don’t want to undermine the artistic aspect while I try to do so. As a lot of gymnast will agree, there needs to be a change in the code as soon as possible!

  17. Andrew Herrador July 26, 2009 at 8:37 pm

    Hey Sho,

    I just wanted to say thank you again for coaching me at the Future Star camp for the last 3 days. I really like your high bar and pommel routine!! I broke my arm in March and you signed my cast. Your story about overcoming an injury made me realize that it doesn’t take you down but makes you stronger!! You acutally signed my bright green cast at the Stanford, Cal, Illinois and Oklahoma meet at Stanford. I have fully recoved and have been in the gym 100% for about 2 months (CSC Scott Burns is my mentor/coach)Your an awesome gymnast and I can’t wait to watch you make the olympic team.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew

    Sho…I agree with B-Had…thanks for being so awesome!! Good luck with the rehab, I know you will do well. Thinking of you.

  19. Trent Jarrett August 13, 2009 at 8:28 am

    I saw the ShoNakamori.com gym listed by Dave Sender’s name on the Visa results and said, What the Heck is that? So, now I am here it worked. Hey, I want to wise you good luck on your recovery and I also wanted to know if you have or will have T-Shirts for sell with your website logo on them? I would def buy one.
    Thanks, Trent

  20. shonakamori August 13, 2009 at 11:42 am

    hey trent, thanks for your comment man! hope you’re well. recovery is comin’ along. as for the t-shirt question, at this point I do not have one. however, i do have some patches like the one that sender is wearing on his chest at usa’s this week.

  21. Trent Jarrett August 13, 2009 at 2:27 pm

    Ok, I would like to buy one — it would look good sewed on a baseball cap or at the bottom of work out shorts. Whatever, i am into buying one and maybe it could be a start of mass marketing them or something. Keep working hard, you are one of the ASG boys favorites. Great website, I will send it to all my friends

  22. kimi August 15, 2009 at 12:13 pm

    Sho,

To you Sho, you have a long road ahead of your, but you too, are awesome and I know you will come back stronger than ever!! Keep it up. Always on your side.

    Hi Sho! Get well soon.. I’m from the Philippines but I’m a big fan of Stanford Athletics in general. It is my routine to check gostanford everyday. I do hope that you’ll represent USA in the next Olympics. You can do it!

  25. Tyler Yamauchi August 16, 2009 at 9:10 am

    Nice webpage man, it’s cool that your still gonna continue with the sport. Give me 3 years and I can help rehab you :-P. Good luck!

  26. Scott Burns August 17, 2009 at 9:30 pm

    Hey Sho, the site is sick. Love the vids and pics all the time. My three guys had an awesome time training at Stanford for that camp. Just wanted to thank you not only for you support of the sport of gymnastics but also college gymnastics and the junior gymnastics. Its been fun watching you grow up and I can only imagine what you will do after rehab. Good luck, get it, its yours.

    I need an evaluator for future stars. We would be very excited if you could do it. Sept 23 what ever that sat is. Michelle is trying to pay $200.00 a day and I think it will finish in one day. The scedule is on the web. I will get back to you on the schedule. Please say yes.

  29. Tres September 5, 2009 at 1:55 pm

    I started following your recovery after I saw Sender “sporting” your site. I am glad that you are continuing in the sport, I think that you can be an asset to U.S.A gymnastics. I hope all goes well for you and I will be rooting for you. Take care!
