One year to the Tokyo Olympics Cambridge Asuka 100m participation in the first match of the season July 23 17:01
On the 23rd, a year before the opening of the postponed Tokyo Olympics, on the track where the tournament is gradually restarting, Cambridge Asuka participated in the first 100m race of the season.
While the competition was suspended due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the competition for track and field gradually resumed from this month, and the Tokyo Championship, which is a track and field event in Tokyo, opened without any spectators on the 23rd.
Cambridge is one of the members who won the silver medal at the 400-Men Men's Relay of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and participated in the 100-Men's qualifying as the first match of the season.
At the tournament, all involved parties are required to submit a paper that records their body temperature and physical condition from one week ago, and infection prevention measures are thoroughly implemented, such as requiring athletes to wear masks except when racing. ..
Cambridge, who started the race since September last year, made a strong start and took the lead from the beginning to finish in the first place, and in the tail wind of 0.3 meters, he advanced to the semifinal on the 24th with a new record of 10 seconds 29. ..
“I had a lot of fun in the race after a long time. I think the time is almost on target and it's not bad considering the weather,” said Cambridge.
Then, in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics aiming for participation, “I have been positively grasping that I have been able to prepare for one year because I have not been able to have a good season for the past two years. First, I will update my best this season and next year. I want to build the confidence that I can fight."
The tournament will be held until the 26th of this month, and the semi-finals and finals of 100 meters of men and women will be held on the 24th.
