The Asian Championship, which requires canoe sprint to win the Tokyo Olympics, was held in Thailand, and the men's Canadian pair was 1000 meters long, and the pair of Takahito Tomei and Kaiki Oshiro was second, and did not reach the quota.
The Asian Championship of Canoe Sprint, which opened in Thailand on the 5th, is supposed to give a quota for the Tokyo Olympics to the countries and regions that won each event, and the Japan Canoe Federation will represent the athletes who won this quota. I have decided to make an offer.
Of the events held on the 5th of the first day, a pair of Tomei and Oshiro from Japan participated in the final of the men's Canadian pair 1000 meters.
Both seniors and juniors from the same high school, both from Okinawa, spurted in the second half of their strength with a breathtaking saw, but with a time of 3: 37.780, 0 seconds to the top Kazakh pair. I didn't reach 172 and didn't get the quota for the Tokyo Olympics in 2nd place.
In addition, the women's kayak 500 meters was ranked 3rd by Raeka Tada from Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture, who allowed a reversal in the final stage, and the men's kayak pair 1000 meters was Hiroyo Niioka from Sakaide City and Aoki from Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. Mizuki's pair was in 5th place, and none of the Japanese players who participated on the first day were able to win the Olympic quota.
The tournament will be held on the 6th.
