The 29-year-old Itozumi is aiming to win a silver medal at the Rio de Janeiro Games, which is his first appearance in the Olympic Games, a silver medal at the World Championships, and a medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Itohazu participated in the men's 61 kg class of the Asian Championships held in Uzbekistan on the 18th as the last international competition before the Olympic Games.
In the first half of the "snatch", where the barbell was raised all at once, Mr. Itoh failed 130 kg for the second time, but he gave it 130 kg for the third time.
In the "Jerk", where the barbell was lifted to the shoulder and then raised above the head, the second 155 kg was successful with a margin.
The total number of 285 kg players did not reach the Japanese record of 13 kg, but they finished in 3rd place among the strongest players such as the gold medalist of the 2019 World Championship.
In the women's 55 kg class, Ayana Sadoyama ranked 8th with a total of 192 kg, and Kanae Yagi, who has participated in the Olympic Games for the second consecutive tournament, was 10th with a total of 182 kg.

The Japanese national team will be selected based on the results of international competitions including this Asian Championship after the final number of slots has been decided.
