Before the opening round of speed skating in Japan this season begins on the 22nd in Nagano City, players such as Miho Takagi, who are expected to play an active role in the Beijing Olympics next year, have made final adjustments.
This season's domestic opening round of speed skating, the All Japan Distance Championship will be held from 22nd at M-Wave in Nagano City for 3 days.
On the 21st, before the tournament, the players made final adjustments at the venue from the morning, and Takagi, who won three medals at the Pyeongchang Olympics three years ago, accelerated and started in a straight line for about 30 minutes. I checked it.
Takagi said that the Beijing Olympics had entered a new season in February next year. I said my feelings.
For the 500 meters and 3000 meters that will be played on the 22nd, he said, "I feel that the results of the first day will have various effects in the future, so I would like to attack vigorously."
In addition to the 500 meters and 3000 meters, Takagi will participate in the 4th event, including 1000 meters and 1500 meters.
