Shinnosuke Oka, the three-time gold medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympics, is optimistic about continuing his winning streak by bringing home medals from the 53rd FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, taking place from Oct. 19–25, 2025.

Throughout this year, the 21-year-old gymnast has already collected four gold and two silver medals from two different tournaments.

In June, he won three gold medals at the 2025 Asian Championships held in Jencheon, South Korea — in the parallel bars, all-around, and team events.

A month later, Oka also brought home one gold and two silver medals from the 2025 World University Games in Thine-Ruhr, Germany.

“I’ll do my best to win gold medals in each event,” Oka said.

The 53rd FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships at Indonesia Arena, Jakarta, marks Oka’s first-ever world championships since he began his senior career in 2021.

Here’s the LOC Media Team’s interview with Shinnosuke Oka:
