With 20 days remaining in 15 days until the opening of the Beijing Olympics, the representative of the short track speed skating athlete who is continuing to make adjustments in Nagano prefecture for the actual tournament has released the practice.
A total of seven men and women who have been nominated for the short track Beijing Olympics representative have released the practice.
The players are preparing for the Beijing Olympics, which will start on the 4th of next month, in Minamimaki Village, Nagano Prefecture, where the national team is active. The practice was released for about 2 hours from around this time.
In the practice, the four men's representative unofficial players carefully checked the movements when touching toward the 5000-meter relay aiming to win medals at the Beijing tournament.
Kazuki Yoshinaga, who will participate in two consecutive tournaments, said, "It is my role to cut off and win because there is a high possibility of an anchor in the relay. If I can exert 100% power, I can win a medal." I was talking powerfully while imagining the actual tournament on the 20th.
Japan national team coach Keiichiro Nagashima said, "It will be a tough fight, but I want the players to win medals."
