There were various reactions on the SNS from the swimmers who are approaching next week for the Japan Championship, which was not able to select the Tokyo Olympics.

28-year-old Shino Shioura, who participated in the Men's Freestyle at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, posted his video on SNS and said, "Honestly, I thought it would be postponed, but I still can't believe it. It's not something you can control. "

On the other hand, some respondents positively acknowledged that the preparation period had been extended.

Backstroke and freestyle, 20-year-old Rio Shirai, spelled out, "Delaying means that you can see a stronger figure."

Also, Satoshi Suzuki, a 29-year-old London Olympic silver medalist who is aiming to revive from the troubles of last season, said, `` I am grateful that I can practice with a healthy body now, '' First of all, I think that the preparation period has increased. I will do my best for the Japanese Championship with my positive feelings. "

Rysuke Irie, a 30-year-old aiming to participate in the fourth Olympics, wrote, "I have a lot of news about what will happen to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics ... the most important thing is my body and my life."

Regarding the representative selection for the swimming competition in Tokyo, the Japanese Championship, which will be held with no spectators at the Tokyo Aquatics Center in Koto-ku, Tokyo from February 2, was positioned as a one-shot match.

However, after the Tokyo Olympics have been postponed for about one year, the Japan Swimming Federation will hold a special managing board meeting on 25th to consider whether or not to select a representative at the Japan Championships.
