ANTWERP, Belgium -- Olympic champion Kohei Uchimura won a record fourth all-around world championship beating Japanese compatriot Ryohei Kato in a final that had a sense of inevitability from the start on Thursday. Anthony Averett Jersey . Uchimura opened with the best floor exercise of the six top qualifiers, and was in command the rest of the way. He mixed strength, poise and elegance in every discipline, setting himself apart from all gymnasts and reinforcing his reputation as the greatest in the history of the sport. "I always do my own things," Uchimura said. "I dont think about rivals." Such is his mastery that he doesnt have to. Even though Uchimura already held the mens record for all-around world titles, he still shared it overall with retired womens great Svetlana Khorkina of Russia, who also won three. And at 24, he can continue to dominate for years to come. "I want to continue until Tokyo 2020," he said of the Olympic Games his nation will stage. German veteran Fabian Hambuechen, the bronze medallist , has competed against him for years and has no doubt he is the greatest. "Yeah, sure," he said in awe. "He has no weak event." Uchimura bore testimony to that, finishing in the top three of each of the six events. "He is just like in a tunnel. Doing his thing. Not being nervous at all, and just concentrating on his routines. That is very special," Hambuechen said. Uchimura also qualified for the weekend floor exercise, high bar and parallel bar finals. In the contest for the other medals, Sam Mikulak of the U.S. made a decisive error late in his high bar routine and instead of challenging for silver he ended up sixth. "That is gymnastics. One second youre on. One second you are off. Its fine," he said. Hambuechen started with a weak pommel horse routine, but his evening-long chase ended with a great floor exercise and the bronze. Uchimura finished with 91.990 points, almost a massive two points ahead of Kato, who had 90.032. Hambuechen finished with 89.332. Britains Max Whitlock was fourth with 89.031. A difference in style was immediately visible on the opening floor exercise when it still looked like a U.S-Japanese fight for gold. Mikulak was smiling broadly, pumping his fists and acknowledging the crowd; Uchimura left the floor seemingly subdued, giving a small nod and a handshake to his coach. It is this kind of serenity, this inner resolve, that has set Uchimura apart. At the end of the evening though, after he landed from the high bar, Uchimura bowed, offered a wide grin and raised his fists, as if he had finally landed back on earth. Uchimura has been untouchable since winning the silver medal at the Beijing Olympics. And, if his performance at the worlds is any preview, that will last. "He does what he does. Year after year, he goes out, hits his routines, has that strong composure," Mikulak said. Uchimura began gymnastics when he was three, starting in a gym his father built in the family home in Nagasaki. As a teen, Uchimura looked up to Naoya Tsukahara, son of Japanese icon Mitsuo Tsukahara. So when he was 15, Uchimura left home to train at Tsukaharas gym in Tokyo. Soon after, his international career started and he has not looked back. "I would definitely say he is the greatest," said Mikulak. "Four world championships and Olympic champion. So, he is definitely stacking in all the medals. Kohei is the man everybody is coming after." Hayden Hurst Ravens Jersey . Tony Parker had 33 points and nine assists and San Antonio never trailed in a resounding 116-92 victory over Portland, bullying the younger Trail Blazers in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. Mark Andrews Ravens Jersey .C. -- The Edmonton Oilers used a late-power-play goal to get a hard-fought road victory. http://www.ravensauthoritystore.com/Authentic-Michael-Crabtree-Ravens-Jersey/ . CEO Steve Koonin on Tuesday told the Hawks flagship radio station that he made the decision to discipline Ferry but allowed him to keep his job managing the team. He did not say what the punishment was, but noted that he relied on a law firms three-month investigation of Ferry and him describing Deng as someone who has a little African in him. OKLAHOMA CITY -- It took a fraction of a second for the Memphis Grizzlies to take control of their first-round series with the Oklahoma City Thunder. With 2.9 seconds remaining in overtime, Oklahoma Citys Kevin Durant missed a long 3-point attempt. Teammate Serge Ibaka tipped the ball in on the rebound, sending the crowd into a celebration. The shot was reviewed, however, and it was determined that it was released just after the buzzer, giving Memphis a 100-99 victory Tuesday night and a 3-2 lead in the series. "I had a good look at it and I thought it was good when it left my hand," Durant, the NBAs scoring champion, said. "And then Serges follow shot was just late. It was a tough finish but weve got to come back." It was a record fourth straight overtime game in the series, and Memphis has won three of them. The seventh-seeded Grizzlies can close out the second-seeded Thunder on Thursday night at home. "Nothing comes easy for us," Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph said. "We get it out of the mud, we grind and were underdogs. Its what we do." Before the final overtime sequence, Durant made the first of two free throws with 27.5 seconds left to cut Oklahoma Citys deficit to 100-99. Before his second shot, referee Joey Crawford took the ball from Durant and walked over to the scorers table. Moments later, Crawford was screaming at the scoreboard operator, asking him to make a change. After the delay, Durant, an 87 per cent free throw shooter during the regular season, missed the second attempt. "Im not sure what happened, but Ive got to focus and Ive got to make that foul shot," Durant said. The Grizzlies didnt understand what was going on, either. "We just looked at Joey and we were like, What is Joey doing?" Memphis guard Mike Conley said. Mike Miller scored 21 points, Randolph had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Conley added 17 points for the Grizzlies. Russell Westbrook had 30 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds for the Thunder, but he made just 10 of 31 shots from the field. Durant scored 26 points on 10-for-24 shooting. He has struggled throughout the series, but Thunder coach Scott Brooks said hes not worried. "Hes going to get his shots and hes going to make his share," Brooks said. "Hell get himself ready for the next game.&quoot; Overall, the Thunder shot just 39 per cent. Kenny Young Jersey. The Thunder, one of the leagues most potent offensive teams in the regular season, have shot below 40 per cent in four of the five games in the series. "We understand this team very well," Memphis guard Tony Allen said. "Weve been playing against this team the last four years with this group. We understand their plays, we understand who theyre trying to run their offence through. We know Kevin Durant is going to take his shots and Russell Westbrook is going to take his shots. We have to contest those shots and stick to our defensive coverages for 48 minutes." Oklahoma City trailed by 20 points in the third quarter but trimmed its deficit to six by the start of the fourth quarter and finally took a 79-78 lead on a 3-pointer by Durant. Memphis maintained its composure. Consecutive baskets by Conley put the Grizzlies up 87-82 with just under 4 minutes to play. Oklahoma Citys Caron Butler was fouled by Randolph as he hit a 3-pointer with 2:40 to play. He made the free throw to cut Memphis lead to 87-86. Oklahoma City, trailing 89-88, had a chance to take the lead in the final minute of regulation, but Durant was stripped, and the ball was stolen by Conley. Allen made the first free throw with 30 seconds left. He missed the second, but Marc Gasol of the Grizzlies got the rebound with 20.3 seconds to play. Conley was stripped by Westbrook, and Westbrook dunked with 4 seconds left to tie the game at 90. Memphis didnt get a shot off in time at the end of regulation and the teams went to overtime again. Miller hit two early 3-pointers in the extra period for the Grizzlies. "Defensively, we made a few mistakes at the end of regulation," Gasol said. "But we came out in overtime, made a couple of 3s, and that gave us a big lift in confidence. We were able to manage it and control from there."
