Japan finished 4th in the Tokyo Olympics artistic swimming team, and did not win medals for the second consecutive tournament.
Strengthen cardiopulmonary function and endurance, and face the Olympics without medals
In artistic swimming, Japan missed the 4th place in the "team" and the medals for the second consecutive tournament, and finished the tournament without medals in both events.
In a "team" that swims with eight people, Director Masayo Imura emphasizes height and performance scale in order to increase the score with strength and sharpness in response to the trends of the world, in addition to the synchronization and technology that Japan has been good at. I chose a player.
Also, of the eight selected, only the captain Yukiko Inui, who participated in the three tournaments, has experienced the Olympics, so in an attempt to bridge the differences in experience and skills among the members, the international tournament was held at Corona. Even though I have few opportunities, I have been honing my breathtaking performance at the training camp.
In order to perform a difficult performance composition packed with foot skills, I strengthened my cardiopulmonary function and endurance through bike training and so on, and went to the Olympics.
However, in the actual technical routine, Japan ranked 4th, behind Ukraine, which was seen as a rival in the medal battle.
In the final free routine, he showed a lot of momentum, but he was about 2 points away from Ukraine, which is superior in terms of footwork and dynamic lift.
Japan, which was 4th in all the events held at the Olympic Games in the adult world championships, did not overturn its reputation in this tournament and finished in 4th place.
Coach Imura has brought medals to the teams he has coached for nine consecutive tournaments, including when he coached the Chinese national team, but this time he finished the tournament without medals for the first time.
