Yamaguchi "I want to connect to future competitions"
Naohide Yamaguchi, who was unfortunately unable to reach the medal in the intellectual disability class of the men's 100-meter butterfly, said, "It was a medal soon, but I was keenly aware that there are so many powerful athletes in the butterfly." I was looking back at the race while bleeding.
On top of that, he was enthusiastic about the future race, such as the men's 100-meter breaststroke, which is expected to receive a gold medal.
Make money with your favorite breaststroke
After the 100-meter butterfly race, which was unfortunately in 4th place, Yamaguchi said, "I'm a little regretful because I was able to win the medal with just one more shot."
Her specialty is breaststroke, which holds a world record for herself, but at the tournament held in Nagano City last month, she broke the Japanese record with a 50-meter butterfly, showing rapid growth in the butterfly.
I analyze that the result of the Paralympic Games, which set a new self-record and finished in 4th place, is because the response at that time is alive.
After the race on the 25th, Yamaguchi said, "The 50-meter Japanese record led to confidence in the butterfly stroke, which led to today's swim. I think the record will continue to grow."
On the other hand, I also emphasize that my favorite is breaststroke.
"I think that by actively working on the butterfly, I think I can find hints that will lead to breaststroke. I want to take advantage of today's racing experience and win a gold medal in the 100-meter breaststroke and break the world record." talked.
The 100-meter breaststroke that Yamaguchi aims to win the gold medal will take place on the 29th of this month.
