At the boxing men's training camp for the Tokyo Olympics, a practical menu was held for the first time in about a year, and Seon Okazawa, who is expected to win a medal at the Tokyo Games, said, "Corrected problems found such as how to punch. I want to get results at the Olympics. "
The Japan Amateur Boxing Federation held a training camp for boys in Mito City for eight days until the 23rd.
According to the federation, the representatives of the Tokyo Olympics and others have completed the actual battle-style menu for the first time in a year since the Asia-Oceania qualifying for the Tokyo Games held in March last year.
After reducing the weight according to the rank of the Olympics, the informal players played one game every other day, for a total of four games, assuming the actual tournament.
An online press conference was held after the practice, and welterweight Okazawa, who is expected to win a medal at the Tokyo Games, said, "It's been a while since I've had a match with weight loss and judgment, but I'm glad I was able to face with a good sense of tension. The weight loss went well, and the quality of the punches is better than before. I want to fix the problems I found, such as how to hit the punches, and get good results at the Olympics. "
In addition, flyweight player Ryoaki Tanaka said, "I'm glad I was able to lose weight to my class and play a match. I think it was a good move for the first match in a year."
"I want to show an interesting game online"
Regarding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, it has been decided this month that we will give up accepting spectators from overseas.
Regarding these decisions, men's welterweight Seon Okazawa said, "I have to accept and accept the results of various people moving toward the Olympic Games." There are some regrets that I can't show at the venue to the overseas people who gave me, but I want to show an interesting match that makes me think that I'm watching it live, such as online. "
In addition, Ryoaki Tanaka, a men's flyweight, said positively, "I would like to have many Japanese people come to the venue instead of overseas spectators and spread amateur boxing to Japan."
