At the Tokyo Olympics and Artistic Swimming Duet, the pair of Japanese players Yukiko Inui and Megumu Yoshida finished in 4th place, and the Japanese pair did not win medals for the second consecutive tournament.
Not a medal for two consecutive tournaments
Twelve teams participated in the free routine of the Artistic Swimming Duet Final, competing for the total score of the "technical routine" held on the 3rd and the "free routine" on the 4th.
From Japan, Inui, a bronze medalist at the Rio de Janeiro Games, participated with Yoshida in three consecutive Olympic Games.
In addition to breathtaking footwork with the theme of "evolution", the two will express how the robot evolves into a human with robot dance and rich facial expressions, and at the end they will act in a "like" pose with their thumbs up. I finished it.
The score was 94.4667, and the total with the technical routine was 187.8166, which was the 4th place, and the Japanese pair did not win the medal for the second consecutive tournament.
The gold medal was the Russian Olympic Committee pair, the silver medal was the Chinese pair, and the bronze medal was the Ukraine pair.
Artistic swimming, a "team" of eight people, will start on the 6th.
Rewind with the remaining "team"
In the artistic swimming "duet", Japan missed the medals in 4th place and 2 consecutive tournaments, and the remaining "team" will try to make a comeback.
The Japanese pair is Yukiko Inui, who has participated in three consecutive tournaments, and Moe Yoshida, who has participated for the first time.
Inui, who also serves as the captain, won the bronze medal in the solo event of acting alone in the adult world championship, and Masayo Imura is also a big black pillar who is a "first-class player".
Yoshida did not have a remarkable track record in Japan, but he was overtaken by Imura because of his long limbs and other qualities.
The key to winning the medal was that Yoshida could catch up with Inui and show the sharpness that pierces the sky, which is ideal for Japan, and the height that emerges from the surface of the water.
The two, who were fourth in the free routine of the first round, one point behind Ukraine, remained in the same position but only about 0.5 points in the technical routine performance on the second day. ..
Even in the free routine of the final, which competes with the technical routine in total points, the performance was stiff, and the total score did not reach the medal, which was about 1.6 points lower than Ukraine, which was in third place.
At the time of the World Championships, the Japanese national team finished in 4th place in all the events held at the Olympic Games, but the judges' evaluation could not be overturned at the Olympic Games.
Japan will try to get back to winning medals by acting as the remaining "team".
