The Tokyo Olympics, rhythmic gymnastics, Japan national team, and Fairy Japan faced with a difficult performance composition aiming for the podium of the Tokyo Olympics, but could not perform without mistakes and ranked 8th out of 8 teams in the final. It ended in.

Strengthening long-term training camps and welcoming coaches from powerful Russia

The rhythmic gymnastics group formed a selection team from 2006, led by Hiroko Yamazaki, the head of the strengthening headquarters, with the aim of improving competitiveness in the world, and welcomed training camps throughout the year and a strong Russian coach. , We have been strengthening in earnest.

Acting composition that incorporates the technique once every 2 to 3 seconds

In particular, after finishing 8th at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, the team as a whole, led by captain Sayuri Sugimoto, won the silver medal at the World Championships in 2019, and the results are steadily on the world stage. I have left.



The big reason was that in 2018, the upper limit of the difficulty of acting skills was lifted.

Taking this opportunity, Japan created a performance composition that incorporates techniques once every two to three seconds.

I can't fix it because it's a structure packed with techniques

The Tokyo Olympics greeted with an acting composition aiming for a medal.

In the final, although I made a small mistake in the first ball, I firmly held back and put together my performance, and I finished in 6th place and faced the second hoop club.



However, if I made a mistake in taking the hoop out of the field in the middle of the performance, there was a loss in movement and I had time to do several moves once every 2 to 3 seconds, so I didn't score points.



I couldn't correct the performance that was once broken because I had packed the difficult skills to the limit, and after that, I couldn't perform well because of mistakes and deductions.

High-risk composition Can you do it on the big stage without mistakes?

After the match, General Manager Yamazaki said, "If one collapses, it will collapse apart. You can't win even if you do it safely. It's a prize level if you can do it. I want you to be proud of yourself. "



Fairy Japan will continue to challenge the next Paris Olympics to see if it is possible to perform a high-risk offensive composition on the big stage without mistakes.
