Japanese gymnast robbed of his achievement
In Antwerp, Belgium (Europe) at the “Artistic Gymnastics
World Championships “Japanese gymnast Kenzo Shirai performed a stunning
vault. He performed a Yurchenko
triple-twist. It was a world first and
the twist was named after him “Shirai.”
Later in the day at the same competition a South Korean named Kim
Hee-hoon performed the same twist.

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) then named the
twist “Shirai-Kim.” Thus robbing Kenzo
Shirai the sole honor for his performance by adding in the second person. Why?
Why did “FIG” stop at adding the second person to the title? Why not add the third and fourth person?
In Colorado “Pike’s Peak” was named after Zebulon Pike, Jr.
who supposedly was the first to climb the peak.
What about the second guy? How
come the peak was not named after the first and second person?
The Hudson Bay in Canada and Hudson River in New York are
both named after English explorer working for a Dutch company Henry
Hudson. Why? What about the second and third explorers
who sailed into the Hudson Bay and up the Hudson River? Should not these bodies of waters bear the
second or third names? No!
Due to political correctness Kenzo Shirai was denied the
sole honor he earned.
