9-second trio with the strongest lineup

This season was a leap year for Japanese short distances.

Sani Brown Abdel Hakim put a new record of 9/97 in Japan, and Yuki Koike also marked 9/98. The world's strongest member with the “9-second trio” including Yoshihide Kiryu, who has won the world championship.

Send out "You can get a gold medal"

The goal is a gold medal for a track that Japan has never got through the Olympic and World Championships.

If Koike was not in good condition in the qualifying, Shuhei Tada, who had a good reputation for the start, was appointed as the final, and he went to the final with the best gold medal.

The commander's coach Hirohiro Doe sent out the player, saying, "If you give 37 seconds 4 to update Japan record 0 seconds 2 you can get a gold medal".

New record in Japan with the best members

The finals were the best members at the moment: Shuhei Tada, Hirayoshi Shiraishi, Yoshihide Kiryu, Sani Brown Abdel Hakim.

The players almost completely decided the underhand pass that Japan was proud of, and they set a new record of 37.43, a new record of 0.17.

However, the result was a bronze medal with a difference of 0 seconds 33 from the American gold medal.

The strength of the United States with the 100-meter gold and silver medalists and the 200-meter gold medalist for this tournament was outstanding.

After the race, Coach Tsuchie shouted, “The advantage gained from the baton pass is already ok”.

“The rest is how you can improve your individual running ability.”

The sense of crisis was also shared by the players.

Kiryu, who says, “Everyone has to give the 9-second range,”

Sani Brown also looked calmly at the difference from the US, saying, “If you do n’t raise your running power one or two steps, you wo n’t see any gold medals.”

The biggest harvest for gold medals in Tokyo is “sense of crisis”

Intense sense of crisis born in Japan.

That's not negative for the Olympics.

The biggest harvest was the clear distance to the gold medal, as we knew the seriousness of the United States, who was the strongest member of the Olympic pre-season.

The Japanese national team has grown into a team that not only delights bronze medals but also has a sense of crisis.

The battle will begin, where you can shave 1 / 100th of a second to determine how far you can improve your individual running ability for another 10 months.
