Ambassador
Kohei Uchimura
Kohei Uchimura is recognized by many as the best gymnast of all time. Born on January 3rd, 1989, the Japanese artistic gymnast was introduced to the world of gymnastics at the age of 3 through his parents, both former gymnasts. In 2007, he joined the Japan’s national gymnastics team and made a spectacular senior debut by claiming a bronze medal in the vault at the World Cup in Paris. The following year he competed in the Beijing Olympic Games where he captured the silver medal in the individual all-around and helped Japan take the second place in the team event. Since then, Uchimura has won all the major competitions, becoming the first gymnast to win every major all-around title in a single Olympic cycle. He accomplished this exceptional achievement twice by winning six world championships (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015) and gold at the London and Rio Olympics (2012 and 2016). Uchimura’s gymnastics skills are widely acclaimed as a “combination of tremendous difficulty, supreme consistency and extraordinary elegance of performance” (International Gymnast Magazine).

Zhao Liying
Adored by the audience for her pretty look and admirable professional acting skills, Zhao Liying has already an impressive list of successes despite her young age. Discovered in 2006, she made her acting debut in the 2006 historical series “Nanyue King,” and went on to star in such popular series as “New My Fair Princess” (2011), “Legend of Lu Zhen” (2013), “Boss & Me” (2014), “The Legend of Chusen 2” (2016-2017) and “Princess Agents” (2017). Titled as the “Queen of TV Viewing”, the highly-talented Chinese actress has also recently broken into the big screen. Her presence on an increasing number of cover magazines has lent her the status of a fashion icon. But it’s the elegance of her heart above all that made Longines fall for her.
