The Japanese national team, a rhythmic gymnastics group aiming to win medals at the Tokyo Olympics, started practicing the New Year, and captain Sayuri Sugimoto stated his aspirations, "I want to do it to the end without shaking."
Japan's representative of the rhythmic gymnastics group, "Fairy Japan," will win a silver medal in the overall group of the adult world championships and aim to win the first medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
The players started practicing the New Year at the Japan Institute of Sports Sciences in Kita-ku, Tokyo from the 4th of this month.
In the "ball" practice, the ball was manipulated in a beautiful posture that extended to the tips of the limbs, and each player showed a breathtaking movement such as exchanging the ball accurately.
Captain Sugimoto said, "The goal of this year is to be strong both physically and mentally. Each person wants to feel the axis both physically and mentally and do everything without shaking. As a rhythmic gymnast, he will stick to his own personality. I want to do it all, "he said.
On the other hand, Kaho Minagawa, who is aiming to participate in the Tokyo Olympics on an individual basis, said, "The goal of this year is to always challenge and beat myself without fear of change. Various things have not happened as usual since last year, I want to do 100% of what I do and always aim for heights. "
Hiroko Yamazaki, General Manager of the Japan Gymnastics Association, commented, "I want to take good care of the year given to us. I will improve my mind and body so that I can withstand any situation."
