In the sailing of the Tokyo Olympics, a women's 470 class medal race was held, and a pair of Japanese players Ai Yoshida and Miho Yoshioka finished this race in 8th place and finished 7th in the overall results.

The pair of sailing women's 470 class Ai Yoshida and Miho Yoshioka, who won the prize following the Rio de Janeiro Games, has been paired since 2013.



Yoshida of "Skipper" who controls sails while steering at the age of 40 and Yoshioka of "Crew" who operates sails in front of a yacht at the age of 30 won the 5th place at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, 2018 At the World Championships, she won the gold medal for the first time among Japanese girls through the Olympics and World Championships.



At this Olympic Games, which I faced with the power to compete for the top in the world, I calmly read the changes in the situation in the familiar sea, which is the practice base.



In the qualifying, which was held in a total of 10 races, it was delayed to 10th place at the end of the first 4 races, but in the 2 races held the next day, it showed accurate race performance according to the situation. Both came in 2nd place and moved up the ranking.



The medal race that passed in 7th place had been separated by points, so although the medals could not be reached, we developed a tenacious race aiming for a prize in the local sea until the end.
