A training camp that also served as a selection for the Japanese national team for the sevens rugby boys to be held at the Tokyo Olympics was released, and the players practiced in a match format and appealed to become a national team.
The rugby sevens boy finished fourth at the last Rio de Janeiro Olympics and is aiming to win his first medal at the Tokyo Games.
From the 6th of this month, a training camp that also serves as a selection for the Japanese national team is being held in Tokyo, and 18 candidate players such as Chihito Matsui and Naoki Motomura who are aiming for the first appearance in the Tokyo tournament are participating.
On the 10th, the match-style practice was released, and the players were divided into three teams, including a team made up of support members.
Of these, Motomura showed sharp movements, such as connecting a quick pass that made use of speed to a try of an ally.
Also, at the Rio de Janeiro Games last time, Matsui, who was removed from the team just before, also had a quick pace, and he decided to try and actively appealed to become a representative.
Motomura said, "I feel like I'm finally here. I have a good feeling from the overseas expedition until last month, so I want to play more. I want to join the national team and win a medal to make Japan healthy. I was talking.
Twelve men and women will be appointed as the sevens rugby representatives of the Tokyo Olympics by the end of next month.
