The weightlifting world championship will start in Thailand, and if a Japanese player enters the third place, he will be selected as the representative of the Tokyo Olympics.
The weightlifting world championship opened in Pattaya, Thailand on the 18th. From Japan, 61km class Yoichi Itobe and 73kg class Masanori Miyamoto, and 49kg class Hiromi Miyake and 59kg class for girls. Top athletes aiming for the Tokyo Olympics, such as Mikiko Ando, are participating.
At least three men and women from Japan will be able to participate in the Tokyo Olympics as host countries, and the players who finish in the third place in this tournament will be selected as representatives based on the selection guidelines of the Japan Association.
On the 18th day of the first day of the tournament, there were no Japanese players participating, and the players made adjustments at the practice hall at the venue.
Among them, the 61-kilometer boys in the boys are fourth in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and are expected to win the first medal in 36 years in Tokyo.
I had to train with long-sleeved wear because I needed to lose weight about 1 kilos the next day. However, I could afford to show a smile at the camera, and was talking about the condition as “not bad”.
On the other hand, Miyake, who is not in good condition with Miyake after the injury, will be competing in “Group B” where players with low weight to challenge will gather.
The Weightlifting World Championship will run until the 27th.
