Career
Yamamuro won the bronze medal in men's all-around at the 2011 World Championships.[3]
Yamamuro competed for the national team at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Men's artistic team all-around. In the team final, he injured his ankle on the vault event, and had to be helped off.[3] He had qualified for the individual all-around final, but due to the injury was unable to compete. This gave a chance for his teammate Kazuhito Tanaka to compete[4] - he had ranked behind Yamamuro and Kōhei Uchimura and had not qualified due to the 2-per-country rule.
Yamamuro also participated in the 2012 American Cup.[5]
At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Yamamuro had won an Olympic gold medal as part of the Japanese men's artistic gymnastics national squad on the all-around team event. In that event final, Yamamuro contributed to two apparatuses on pommel horse and still rings with scores of 13.900 and 14.866 respectively.
