Olympic all-around gymnastics champion Daiki Hashimoto said Friday that he believes he will be in top shape to defend his title in Paris after injuring a finger last month.
Hashimoto, also the two-time defending world champion, damaged a ligament in the middle finger of his right hand while practicing for his final competition before next month's Games.
He said at Japan's national training base that he was feeling at 60% fitness after resuming practice two weeks ago.
