Nozomi Tanaka, who was the first Japanese player to advance to the final in this event at the Tokyo Olympics, 1500 meters for women on land, finished 8th with a time of 3: 59.95.
21 years old with infinite possibilities
Nozomi Tanaka, the first Japanese athlete to participate in the women's 1500 meters in the Olympic Games, made a great leap forward by breaking the four-minute barrier in the semi-finals and finals in a row to finish in 8th place.
All-rounders who handle 800 meters to 10,000 emails are expected to become a leader in the medium- and long-distance world, including marathons.
The name of a legendary player was highlighted as Tanaka advanced to the final in this event this year.
Kinue Hitomi, the only Japanese athlete and medalist in track and field, is an individual event.
It was the first time in 93 years since Mr. Hitomi that he advanced to the final stage of the Olympics in the middle-distance event, and Tanaka made a big achievement in the middle-distance.
It is also true that Tanaka's speed is increasing when he lives long distances, and the long-awaited theory for the marathon, which was once a medal event for Japan, is increasing.
At present, Tanaka is showing a commitment to the track, but he has also mentioned challenges for future marathons.
Tanaka proved that the speed is world-class at this tournament.
The day may come when the 21-year-old, who has infinite possibilities, will excite the women's track world in the future and the marathon world in the near future.
