Rio Gin Shinobu Ota misses Tokyo Olympics Wrestling All Japan Championship Dec 21 15:03
Rio de Janeiro silver medalist Shinobu Ota was defeated in the 67kg class first round in the All-Japan Championship, which involved in the selection of wrestling for the Tokyo Olympics.
Ota now has no chance of participating in the Tokyo Olympics.
The Wrestling All-Japan Championships will be a national selection event for the Tokyo Olympics, and for those who have not yet qualified for Japan, the winners will advance to the next year's Olympic Asia qualifiers.
Ota, who was defeated in the men's Greco-Roman style 60-kilometer class battle and raised his rank to 67-kilometers, played against a 23-year-old player in his first match.
Ota started throwing shortly after the start of the game, but was crushed and deprived of points.
In the second half, the opponent decided to throw and lost points, and lost the technical fall 0-8.
Ota said, "I've been preparing well and I didn't feel the difference between the classes. I think. "
With this, Ota had no chance of participating in the Tokyo Olympics. I lent it, but I couldn't respond to it. "
Regarding the future, he said, "I haven't been able to organize my feelings anymore. It's not something that I can decide by myself whether I continue wrestling or quit and do something different. I want to take the time to think about it." .
In the class where Japan has the participation quota, Mao Okui, fifth in the World Championships, has entered the men's freestyle 74kg class.
Okui, if he won, would have been offered for the Tokyo Olympics, but lost in the first match.
Okui will be playing against the champion of the tournament at the Olympic Games to be held in February next year.
Masao Okui, who was unable to decide on a representative job offer, said, "There was no good place. It was no use, that's it." No, I think my goodness is to be greedy as a challenger, but I couldn't do it at all. I want to switch because there is a national team in February. "
