Swimming Hagino “cherishing the given year” Towards the Olympics next year, feelings June 24, 19:57
Rio de Janeiro Olympic gold medalist and swimmer Kosuke Hagino interviewed online to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics, which was postponed next year. "There is always something we can do because we have extended one year. I want to cherish the given year." Said his feelings.
Last year, Hagino returned to the competition with the aim of participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games after taking a temporary break due to his condition and other factors.
After that, in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics representative selection meeting scheduled for April this year, although training was conducted in the highlands in Spain until the last minute and there were signs of recovery, the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics was decided after returning to Japan. ..
Hagino said, "I think it would have been tough for me if there was an Olympic Games. However, I would have another chance to postpone it next year, and I would like to work hard again." "
Currently, he is resuming practice at the pool in earnest, saying, "In the past few years, I couldn't swim well when I got into practice, but I couldn't swim well. I think positively that I can do it slowly by thinking about swimming or by confronting challenges seriously."
Next month, as we approach the Tokyo Olympic Games, which will mark the first year before the season starts again, "There is always something we can do because we have increased by one year. We don't think it will be another year, we think that there is still one year, and we were given 1 I want to cherish the year" and renewed my determination.
