Kohei Uchimura
Kohei Uchimura didn’t dominate for a moment—he owned the all-around for years. That’s his entire case in the Greatest Gymnasts of All Time debate.
But Uchimura vs Vitaly Scherbo is where it gets tricky. Uchimura gives you consistency. Scherbo gives you six gold medals in one Olympics.
Which one actually matters more?
And when you compare him to someone like Simone Biles, you’re forced into a bigger question—how do you even measure greatness across disciplines?
If you value longevity, Uchimura is hard to beat. If not, you’ll probably look elsewhere.
