Before the NHK Cup of gymnastics, which also serves as the representative selection of the Tokyo Olympics, will be held from the 15th, 19-year-old Daiki Hashimoto, who won the All Japan Championship last month, will make adjustments at the venue, and will use the pommel horse etc. I confirmed the feel.
The NHK Cup for gymnastics, which will be held in Nagano City from the 15th, will also be held as a representative selection for the Tokyo Olympics, and two of the four representative members of the group will be nominated as representatives for boys.
The tournament was held by carrying over the points of the All Japan Championship last month, and the winner Hashimoto, 2nd place Wataru Tanigawa, and 3rd place Kazuma Kaya are competing within one point difference.
Of these, Hashimoto practiced the technique of moving while rotating his body with a pommel horse, which has been making mistakes in falling at the tournament, and confirmed the feel of the equipment.
In addition, in the technique of turning with both legs open, he showed a beautiful performance with his legs stretched straight, showing a smooth adjustment.
On the other hand, 18-year-old Takeru Kitazono, who was injured in his right elbow after falling to 6th place on the horizontal bar in the final while taking the lead in the qualifying for the All Japan Championship, had difficulty acting with a ring due to his injury. I am planning to drop the ball and go to the tournament.
In the practice on the 14th, we were making adjustments toward the actual production, such as showing a gentle and nimble movement.
The NHK Cup will be held on the 15th for women's competitions and on the 16th for men's competitions.
Wataru Tanigawa "I want to decide on a representative at this tournament"
Wataru Tanigawa said after the practice on the 14th, "I checked the atmosphere because it was the first venue. It's not very good, but there is no problem."
Regarding the points of the NHK Cup, I gave the third event, Yuka, Pommel Horse, and Rings, which will be held in the first half of the competition. I think it's important to act at your own pace. "
He added, "I have a strong desire to decide on a job offer for the representative at this tournament. I think that focusing on what I should do will bring results."
Kazuma Kaya "I want to beat myself"
Kazuma Kaya, who finished the practice, said, "We will fight in a situation where we do not know what is going on, but there will be no Olympics unless we overcome this. I feel like I'm being told. "
On top of that, one of the points of the tournament was the horizontal bar that made a mistake at the All Japan Championship last month. I have a strong desire to do it. "
He also said that the pros and cons of holding the Tokyo Olympics are divided, "We do not decide whether or not there will be a tournament. We just think that there will be a tournament and prepare for it."
