Canoeing First training camp at the men's kayak fore venue for the Tokyo Olympics October 16 22:33

Four canoe sprint men's kayak fore players, who have been appointed as representatives of the Tokyo Olympics, held a training camp for the first time at the venue of the tournament.

Momotaro Matsushita, the oldest member of the group, said, "I was able to practice well in a comfortable venue."

In addition to Matsushita, Keiji Mizumoto, Yusuke Miyata, and Daiki Fujishima have been appointed as representatives of the Tokyo Olympics for the men's kayak fore canoe sprint.



The four have been holding their first training camp at the Sea Forest Waterway, the venue for the tournament in Koto-ku, Tokyo, from the 12th of this month, and on the final day, the 16th, the state of the practice was disclosed to the press. ..



In the practice that took about an hour, the players went back and forth on the course of the venue many times to check the timing of the start dash and the last spurt.



After finishing the practice, Matsushita responded to the interview, saying, "I thought it might be difficult for the canoe to float because it is a seawater course, but that was not the case. There were few waves and it was a very easy venue. I was able to practice well. There is still room for growth, so I want to aim for a higher level for the Tokyo Olympics. "
