Takaharu Furukawa, who won the bronze medal on the 31st of last month as an individual male archery at the Tokyo Olympics, met at the dawn and talked about his joy and gratitude.
Furukawa defeated a Taiwanese player in the men's individual bronze medal match held on the 31st of last month, and won the first medal in two tournaments since the silver medal at the London 2012 Games two years ago.
Furukawa, who had a press conference on the morning of the 1st, said, "When I got the silver medal at the London 2012 Games, I was confident that I could reach the medal at the International Games if I was in good shape, but this time I was not in good shape and it was tattered even in the qualifying. Even so, I was able to revive from there and feel confident in my strength that I could win medals in individual competitions. "
Furukawa won two bronze medals together with the men's group at this tournament, which was the fifth Olympic Games, but at the press conference, he said, "I'm really happy, but I'm more thankful this time." He expressed his gratitude for attending the Games.
And about the Olympics with no spectators that I experienced for the first time, "I think it was the Olympics, but I was playing the game with a feeling that it was not the Olympics. However, during the Games, there are countless volunteers at the venue. I was asked to do my best. I think it was because it was held in Tokyo, and it was the 5th Olympic Games, but I had an experience I had never seen before. " I did.
