Shouma Sato, who is aiming to win a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics swimming and men's breaststroke, released his practice at the pool where Kosuke Kitajima, who won the Olympics for the second time in a row, grew up. I want to take it, "he said with enthusiasm.
20-year-old Sato won the men's 200-meter breaststroke with a new Japanese record of 2: 6: 40 at the Japan Championships held this month as a representative selection for the Tokyo Olympics, and was appointed as the representative.
On the 20th, the practice was released at the Tokyo Swimming Center in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.
This pool was raised by Kosuke Kitajima, who won the second breaststroke event of the Olympic Games for two consecutive tournaments, and Sato has been attending since the third grade of elementary school.
For the Olympics this summer, Sato is aiming for a race that is far ahead of the first half, so on the 20th, while making light adjustments, he will work on strengthening as well as kicking for about an hour and a half. I was checking the upper body and the scratches on my arms.
Sato said, "I was able to grow up thanks to this pool, and I want to take the world firmly by swimming. Kosuke has won the gold medal, so I want to take it too."
