Marathon Men's representative offer Nakamura and Hattori both "Aim for medals" September 16, 11:21
Four men and women who were selected as representatives of the Tokyo Olympics at the MGC Marathon Grand Championship of the marathon drew a night after the hot war and spoke again about their joy.
On the 15th, in the MGC held in Tokyo for the first time, men and women fought for a representative appointment on the same course on the same day, and the top two were both selected as representatives of the Tokyo Olympics.
Among these men, Takumi Nakamura set up a spurt at the remaining 2 kilometres, won a fierce competition with Yuma Hattori and Masaru Osako, and was selected as the representative with Hattori.
Nakamura, who responded to the interview at the end of the night, had a 27th birthday on the 16th, and when the cake was given, he put out the candles a little embarrassed.
Nakamura said, “27 years old was greeted on a good day. From now on, we must prepare for the Olympics under pressure, but we will strive to be ashamed as a representative.” On top of that, for the Olympic production that takes place on almost the same course, “The course is relatively flat and easy to run, and it is not strange that the production will be at a fast pace. I wanted to renew my determination.
On the other hand, 25-year-old Hattori said, “The support of the people of Niigata Prefecture with my hometown has helped me. I want to take a break at home now.” However, I couldn't cope with Nakamura's spurt, so I'm full of reflection. Next year, I want to run with heat on my side and aim for a medal. "
