From September 3 to 6, 2026, the artistic gymnastics events of Japan's 80th National Sports Festival ("Aomori Kokuspo") were held at the Aomori Prefectural Budokan in Hirosaki as a pre-festival competition. In the senior men's team all-around, Osaka won its third consecutive title with 330.157 points, and according to The Gymternet's tally, Teppei Miwa of Osaka topped
the individual all-around. This article looks at these results from a D-score perspective as a check on Japan's domestic form roughly six weeks before the 2026 World Championships in Rotterdam (October 17-25). As a Japanese former competitor and D-score app developer, the focus here is on how to read these scores technically, rather than simply relaying results.
