Mikiko Andoh, who won the bronze medal in the weightlifting of the Tokyo Olympics, participated in the All Japan Championship as the first actual battle after the Olympics and won the championship for the 10th time.
Ando, who won the bronze medal in the women's 59 kg class at the Tokyo Olympics, took part in the first actual battle after the Olympics at the All Japan Championship held in Tsunan Town, Niigata Prefecture.
In the first half of the "Snatch", where he participated in the women's 55kg class, which is one class below the Olympics, and raised the barbell all at once, he succeeded in 84kg in the second time and advanced to the second half in second place.
Then, in the "Jerk", which is good at lifting the barbell to the shoulder and then raising it above the head, he succeeded in 110 kg for the second time, and at this point, the total was 194 kg, and he decided to win the reversal.
In the third attempt, I tried to set a new record of 115km in Japan, but it ended in failure.
Ando won the tournament for the 10th time in a row for 8 years, including other classes.
On the other hand, at the venue, Hiromi Miyake, who had a retirement interview on the 18th, was watching the players as a coach of his team.
Ando "I won the championship, but the result is not convincing."
Mikiko Andoh, who won the All Japan Championship for the 10th time, said, "I couldn't break the Japanese record I was aiming for, so at least I was able to win, but it wasn't a convincing result at all. "I said with a plain expression.
Regarding the fact that he participated in the next lower class than at the time of the Tokyo Olympics, where he won the bronze medal, he said, "The injury to my right knee just before the Olympics has not completely healed, and I started practicing just before the Games. When I thought about starting, I weighed about 57 kg. Originally I wanted to try the 55 kg class, so I also wanted the juniors of the university participating in this class to do their best. I participated in the hope that I could become a wall. "
For the future, "I heard that the League of Nations will announce the class to be held at the Paris Olympics three years later in December, so I would like to decide which class to participate in. I would like to give top priority to returning to the best record I have, and do my best to aim for more than the bronze medal of the Tokyo Games at the Paris Olympics. "
