Sho Brian Nakamori (born September 9, 1985) is a retired American artistic gymnast. He was a member of the United States men's national artistic gymnastics team and won a bronze medal representing the United States at the 2011 Pan American Games.
Nakamori was born on September 9, 1985, in Oakland, California, to Kazuki and Tamae Nakamori. His father, Kazuki Nakamori, was a gymnast and was a member of the Japan men's national gymnastics team from 1982 to 1984.[1]
Nakamori attended Albany High School, but left before his senior year to train in Colorado Springs, Colorado under Vitaly Marinich at the United States Olympic Training Center while attending Palmer High School.[1][2] He almost made the United States men's national artistic gymnastics team at the age of 16, drawing comparisons to Chris Reigel, and was considered the top junior gymnast in the country.[2] He enrolled at Stanford University to pursue gymnastics.
