The Tokyo District Court ruled that a former player who was seriously injured in a training camp where strong wrestling players from Japan gathered and sought compensation from his training partner and the Japan Wrestling Federation.
A former player who has won the All Japan Student Championship in wrestling was seriously injured in 2017 at a training camp, causing dangerous throwing by his training partner, and the association neglected to consider safety. As a result, I asked the athlete who was the training partner, the head of the strengthening headquarters at that time, and the Japan Wrestling Federation for compensation of more than 220 million yen.
At the trial, the athletes and the association side who were sued argued that "when the powers of both parties were competing against each other, the balance was lost due to the sudden loss of power," and fought.
Ritsuko Ogawa, the judge of the Tokyo District Court, pointed out in a ruling that "there is no reason for the opponent to dare to throw a dangerous throw. No violation of the duty of care of the head of the strengthening headquarters is found, and no claim to the association is allowed." I dismissed the complaint.
Former player's mother "Unnatural claim of the other witness is recognized and resentment"
The mother of the injured ex-player said, "I feel angry because the witness's unnatural allegations applied by the other player are accepted as they are. I wanted you to make a convincing decision based on the discussion. We reveal the truth. I will fight to do it. "
