Nozomi Tanaka, who has been selected as the representative of the Tokyo Olympics in the second long-distance track and field women's race, set a new Japanese record of 8 minutes 40 seconds 84 in the non-Olympic 3000m race that he participated in as part of the adjustment. It gave momentum to the actual performance of the Games.
21-year-old Tanaka has been selected as the representative of the Tokyo Olympics at 1500 meters and 5000 meters for women.
On the 10th, he participated in the 3000m race held in Abashiri City, Hokkaido as part of the adjustment, and Tanaka, who was in the lead group from the beginning, spurted in the last lap and finished at the top with a time of 8 minutes 40 seconds 84.
I set a new Japanese record of 0.51 seconds, which I marked a year ago.
3000 meters is not an Olympic event, but Tanaka, who gave momentum to the first appearance of the Games, said, "I was able to put out my best, so I hope I can connect to the 1500 meters and 5000 meters of the Olympics." I was talking.
