RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - With their graceful lines and soaring tumbles, Kohei Uchimura and Gabby Douglas will be attempting to pull off a feat in the Rio Games that no gymnast has accomplished in over 40 years -- capturing back-to-back all-around Olympic golds.
After collecting every Olympic and world all-around title since taking silver at the 2008 Beijing Games, the man known as 'Super-mura' will be favourite to become the first man since Japanese compatriot Sawao Kato in 1972 to win successive Olympic titles in the event that tests skills across six apparatus.
