Rio Kim Eri Tosaka misses the Tokyo Olympics Wrestling All Japan Championship December 21 18:56
Eri Tosaka, who won a gold medal in the Rio de Janeiro Olympic wrestling, lost in the semi-finals of the All Japan Championship and has no possibility of participating in the Tokyo Olympics.
The Wrestling All-Japan Championship was a national selection competition for the Tokyo Olympics, and the gold medalist climber in Rio de Janeiro competed in the women's 50 kg class.
Tosaka went on to the semi-finals, but he was attacked by Yui Suzaki, who won the world championship for the second time until last year, and lost 0-6 without keeping pace.
Since climbing in Rio de Janeiro, climbers have not been able to achieve satisfactory results due to injuries to their feet and have not been able to survive the national competition with domestic rivals.
After the game, Mr. Tosaka recalled, "I feel like it's over. I wanted to aim for the Tokyo Olympics as long as I had a chance. I was happy to be able to do so."
He said in the future, "I'm not sure how I will spend my time, but I'd like to take a moment to see the Tokyo Olympics and think about how I feel."
