Teppei Miwa (三輪 哲平 Miwa Teppei, born 21 December 2000) is a Japanese artistic gymnast. Born in Shizuoka, Japan, he started gymnastics at the age of 4, and has gradually become one of the top & most promising competitors in Japan. Miwa's all-around score of 86.598 at the 2021 All Japan qualification made him the 11th highest scorers of the year.
Early life and career[edit]
Miwa was born in Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture and began gymnastics at the age of 4 at the Shimizu Pegasus Gymnastics Club. After elementary, he attended Jonan Shizuoka Junior High School in his hometown and achieved bronze medal in pommel horse & 4th place in team at the 2015 national junior high championships. At the age of 15, he moved to Osaka to join Seifu High School and practice with one of the strongest gymnastics club for senior high students. [1] [2]
Senior career[edit]
2021[edit]
Miwa participated the 2021 All Japan all-around championships & ranked 2nd at qualification round. He was the only gymnast that qualified for all apparatus championships, except for vault. At the all-around final, he only ranked 6th in 2nd round and got the 4th place in total.
At the 2021 NHK Trophy, Miwa achieved the 2nd highest score of 86.498, but was still in 4th place since the eventual result was the combination with the all-around championships. In June, he participated in 5 apparatus championships, but did not qualify for any final. Due to those poor performances, Miwa wasn't selected to join the national team competing at the 2020 Summer Olympics. These spots were eventually given to Daiki Hashimoto, Wataru Tanigawa, Kazuma Kaya & Takeru Kitazono in team, along with specialists Kohei Uchimura & Kohei Kameyama.
Miwa was the member of Juntendo University team that won the 2021 All Japan Student Championships. He ranked 1st in vault, 5th in rings & 7th in pommel horse. However, mistakes from his performances in floor, parallel bars & horizontal dragged him to 6th place in total, despite being one of the strongest competitors. Miwa also failed to attend 2021 World Championships, as the Japan Gymnastics Association wanted to give the chances to apparatus specialists. His last competition in 2021 was the All Japan Team Championships, where he won the title with Juntendo University. [3] [4] [5]
