Rugby Sevens Japan National Team Candidates for Olympic Games Open to Practice Practice October 29, 17:06
At the Tokyo Olympics, the training camp for the Japanese national team candidate for sevens rugby was released on the 29th, and the players practiced in a match format with intense tackles and scrums.
The sevens rugby boy won the 4th place at the last Rio de Janeiro Olympics and is aiming to win a medal at the Tokyo tournament next year, but the activity was temporarily suspended due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
However, it resumed in stages from June, and on the 29th, the training camp for the Japanese national team candidate, which is being held in Tokyo, was opened to the public for the first time after the activity resumed.
Since last month, contact play has also been lifted, and in match-style practice, players repeated set plays such as scrum and intense tackles just like the actual performance.
In addition, taking advantage of the abundant amount of exercise that Japan has as a strength, the linked play that connects the passes in small steps and connects to the try was also developed with a sense of speed.
Before and after the practice, the athletes diligently disinfected their hands and fingers with alcohol, and the ban on swirling drinks was strictly prohibited. The staff took various measures against infection, such as wearing masks during the practice.
Chihito Matsui, who was the captain of the international tournament in February, said, "Since we are now able to practice in a match format, we would like to increase the intensity of the practice so that we can win medals at the Olympics." I was talking.
