Swimming race Kosuke Kanno qualifying for national body 100m backstroke September 15th 17:05

Kosuke Kanno, who returned to actual battle for the first time in about half a year, participated in the national polity = national athletic meet competition, men's 100m backstroke last month, but did not advance to the final in 9th qualifying.

Ogino, who won a gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and the men's 400m individual medley, took a rest from March due to a decrease in motivation and returned to the race last month for the first time in about six months.

On the 15th, Sagano participated in the qualifying for men's 100m backstroke in the national swimming competition held in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, but finished 9th in 55.50 time and did not advance to the final.

Sugano was aiming for a breakthrough in the standard time that could be reinforced as a candidate for the Japanese national team in this national corps. However, neither of the two events that came out reached the standard time.

For this reason, at this stage we will not be able to participate in the Japan National Team candidate camp scheduled for this winter, and we will be asked to review the strengthening schedule as we aim to win two consecutive gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics next year. It was.

Mr. Kanno said, “We didn't have the speed. We had to make a good start with an unpredictable result.

The coach of Hirai Hiramasa, who was instructing, said, “I have been training well since last month, but I am sorry that I haven't achieved the results. I think I need to continue the race. I want to talk with myself.” .
