Men's 100m semi-final loss "9-second trio" What is September 29 13:29

The world championship held in Qatar, Japan's “9-second trio” in the men ’s 100 meters, Sani Brown Abdel Hakim, Yoshihide Kiryu and Yuki Koike were all defeated in the semi-finals. From the interview after the race, I was able to see what was happening to the three people who ended the semi-final defeat in a time far from personal best.

The world championship held in Qatar, Japan's “9-second trio” who participated in the men ’s 100 meters with unprecedented expectations Sani Brown Abdel Hakim, Yoshihide Kiryu and Yuki Koike all lost . It was a result of regret that the original power could not be demonstrated.

Sani Brown, who finished 5th in the semi-final group, echoed that he was far behind at the start. Sani Brown said that he could n’t believe he could n’t hear the start sound.

The reaction time for the start was 0 seconds 206, the slowest of the 8 people in the same group. This delay was fatal, with half of the players responding at 150 units per second.

In the second half, I desperately pursued it, but it was 10 seconds 15 in 5th place. Considering that the time of the second place was 10 seconds 12 in a race that could automatically advance to the final if it entered by the second place, it was a start mistake.

Sani Brown said, “The noise of the microphone was audible. From there, I heard it as a small“ pan ”and thought it was. I did n’t hear it for a moment, so I just had to react a little.” I was sorry.

Since we were not able to catch up with the rest of the world after the midfield, the issue of how to prevent such mistakes for the Tokyo Olympics became clear.

Koike, who grew rapidly this season, lost 10 times and 28 seconds from his personal best, and lost 7 times in the group. The cause was in the start.

“I felt that my body moved in response to the noise of the next player. I thought I could fly,” Koike said. Acceleration from the start was not seen, “whether you ran or not ran,” and the powerful acceleration that was intimate with the incomplete combustion was hidden.

Even though the pressure was high at the world championships for the first time, even greater pressure is expected at the Tokyo Olympics in the big cheering party held in their country.

In order to leave results on the big stage, Koike will be tested on how to make use of this bitter experience in the future.

On the other hand, it was Kiryu who participated in the final three groups that started successfully. Surprisingly, Kiryu, who was the first in the semi-finals of the World Tournament, entered the race with enough energy, saying, “I was thrilled before running and was on the starting line.

As I said, “I thought I could not compete without changing the start from qualifying”, I jumped out of the start.

The reaction time was the second fastest in the group, 0 seconds 125, and it was a battle with the world up to 50 meters.

However, when I finished being able to make a difference with the world's powerhouses in the second half of the 50 meters, I felt the high wall of the final in 6th place in 10 seconds 16 time.

Kiryu said, “It is absolutely possible if the level of the middle stage goes up”, and in a bullish language, the problem of speed after the middle stage was told.

The next big stage is the Tokyo Olympics. The 100-meter final, which was once a dream for Japanese players, is now within reach.

Whether the regrets experienced at this tournament can be linked to a smile one year later, the players have only 10 months left.
