At the Tokyo Olympics, the men's 200-meter qualifying was held, and Shota Iizuka, who participated in one group, finished 6th with a time of 21.02, and could not decide to advance to the semi-finals in the order of arrival.



Sani Brown Abdul Hakim, who participated in the next two groups, finished in 6th place with a time of 21.41 seconds, which is more than 1 second later than his personal best, and was eliminated from the qualifying because he could not reach the finish order or time.

At this point, Shota Iizuka was also eliminated.

Iizuka "Thank you for the chance to run"

Shota Iizuka, who lost the qualifying, said, "I came to myself for five years so as not to leave any regrets, but it took me 21 seconds and I am disappointed. I am grateful for the opportunity to run 200 meters with various support. I'm doing it. "

Sani Brown "I've been extended"

Sani Brown Abdul Hakim, who missed the semi-final after finishing 6th in a time more than 1 second later than his personal best, said, "It's a little too bad. I was totally useless rather than the Olympics. I couldn't do it, and I was left behind for a while, "he recalled.


On top of that, he was enthusiastic about the relay after this, saying, "Japan is in a position to aim for a gold medal, so we all want to practice the baton one more step."
