The keyword for Tokyo "do what you need to do" on land Sani Brown March 8th 19:57
The Tokyo Olympics, less than five months before the opening.
One promising nova is SaniBrown Abdel Hakim, a short-distance man on land. It made a big leap in setting a Japanese record of 9 seconds 97 at 100m last year, but it was far above that. We asked Sani Brown, who is training in the United States, how he intends to spend the upcoming Olympic season. (Titles omitted)
2020 by Sani Brown
Sani Brown: "If it's 9 seconds 97, it's still in the error level of 9 seconds. I'd like to give a bit more time to make it look like 9 seconds."
Looking back on last season when he became a Japanese record holder, Sani Brown said, "I can do about 80-90%." When I expressed my Japanese record as "error level", I felt the level of the level I could look at again.
He wrote a graph to answer the question of how the image will be improved during the Olympic season that is finally starting.
The one who wrote "Surasura" without hesitation was the rising line that peaked at the Tokyo Olympics.
I was worried about the Japanese championship held in June, one month before the Olympics.
It is the best race to be a selection race of the Japanese national team, but here, about 60% is fine.
Sani Brown: "At the time of the Japanese Championship, I feel like I'm still exploring. I'll raise it up in the next month."
There was a lesson from last season.
National University Championship last June. Sani Brown, on a hard schedule of three races a day, renewed his personal best of 9 seconds 97 at 100 meters and 20 seconds 08 at 200 meters.
With the momentum, he achieved two crowns of 100 meters and 200 meters three weeks later in the Japanese Championship, but he felt that it was difficult to maintain the peak of his condition.
Sani Brown: "When I was a U.S. student, I was almost 100%, and at the Japanese Championship I was close to 100, but the situation was a little bit down. Maintaining 100% was pretty tough, so I'm better going up. I don't know. "
Indeed, according to Sani Brown's graph, the situation has grown sharply in the month from the Japanese Championship to the Olympics.
For Sani Brown, who has surpassed the Olympic standard record, the Japanese Championship is just a passing point. From there, I intend to make it 100% ready for the Olympics. If so, what kind of run will you show in the 60% Japan Championship? The set time was still bullish.
Sani Brown "I really want to be able to run around my current best (9 seconds 97) around May and June"
A race with great "lessons"
Last season, Sani Brown had another tournament with great lessons.
The world championship in Doha, Qatar from September to October.
In the 100-meter semi-final race, the big game that could be said to be the preparatory battle for the Tokyo Olympics, Sani Brown, who had just nine lanes, was far behind at the start.
Although he rewinded in the second half, he finished fifth in 10 seconds and 15 seconds.
In the race that advanced to the final until 10:12, it would have passed without any problem if it exhibited its original strength. I couldn't hear it. "
Meanwhile, Grant Holloway, a teammate from Florida and American Hope, won a gold medal at the 110-meter hurdle.
Sani Brown continued to ask himself what was the difference between his teammates who won the world and himself.
Sani Brown: "Sure I couldn't hear the sound (start), but sometimes the sound didn't sound in practice. I felt that the difference in the daily practice accumulated would be that kind of thing. "
One year to do what to do
Currently, Sani Brown, who is practicing just before the season, is intensively practicing each and every day more than ever before.
Now that I have made a big mistake, I cultivate my concentration to do what I need to do, because I've experienced that I'm usually in practice.
Mike Holloway, coach "I'm tired, but I don't do it. I've come to practice on the technical side, no matter how late I can, and concentrate on the finer details."
Sani Brown: "I think the focus on training is very different and I think it's evolving in all aspects. Now he's changing his eye color and training harder."
Sani Brown grew one or two times after experiencing a mistake.
She is ready for the season to do what she needs to do for the Olympic Games.
Sani Brown: "I have a clear goal and want to win a gold medal, but on the stage of the Olympics, I want to be able to do exactly what I'm doing as usual, or to be able to do those really small things one by one. The goal of doing it is now bigger. ''
