Boxing Olympic gold medalist and professional world champion Ryota Murata gave a message to representatives such as Tokyo Olympics unofficial athletes, saying, "If you don't have a medal, your life won't change. I want you to aim for a medal."

This lecture began with representatives such as unofficial players who hope that the Japan Boxing Federation will continue to keep the motivation of the players after the Tokyo Olympics were postponed to next year due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. It was held in an online course.

Murata won the gold medal for the first time in 48 years as a Japanese player at the London Olympics and boxing men's middleweight division, and became the world champion after becoming a professional player.

According to the federation, the lectures were held for about an hour and a half, and Murata recalled that he had a terrible win because of his own life, so that he wouldn't regret it. It's no use. If you do not have a medal, your life will not change. I want you to aim for a medal. "

In the question-and-answer session, Daisuke Narumatsu, who was announced as a representative for the second consecutive year, consulted that "I may not be able to practice myself at training camps and so on." Murata said, "Believing that you have done so far, your own pace. It is good to keep in mind that the content should be deep during the whole practice. ”

After the lecture, Murata commented, "You should practice so that you will not regret it, and practice to be convinced. Japanese players are at a high level, so I want you to believe in yourself and do your best."

Among the players who are aiming to get a spot in the Tokyo Olympics' unofficial contestants who have received a lecture from Mr. Murata, Seong Okazawa, who has been unveiled as a representative in the men's welter class, said, `` Mr. I felt they were facing each other. I wanted to focus not only on technology but also on mental training. "

Tsukimi Namiki, who has been nominated as a representative in the women's flyweight, said, "I think that I have a strong feeling that I will win!" I wish I could fight with a feeling of winning anything. "
