Shuhei Tada, the 100-meter men's representative from the Tokyo Olympics, talked about his enthusiasm before the Japan Championships in Athletics, which also serves as the representative selection for the World Championships to be held next month, will start in Osaka City on the 9th.
The 106th Japan Championships in Athletics will be held at "Yanmar Stadium Nagai" in Osaka City from the 9th to the 4th, which will also serve as a representative selection for the World Championships to be held in Oregon, USA next month.
Shuhei Tada, who won the men's 100-meter qualifying and semi-final in the men's 100-meter qualifying and semi-final last year, and Sani Brown Abdul Hakim and Yoshihide Kiryu, who have records in the 9-second range, Yuki Koike and others are scheduled to participate in it.
From the afternoon of the 9th, Tada and others had a press conference after practicing on the sub-track of the venue.
Shuhei Tada "I want to do my best to win the championship for the second time in a row"
Tada broke his left leg last month and said, "I've had a bitter result, so I'd like to take on the challenge as a challenger. I want to do my best. "
Nozomi Tanaka "Achievements that seem to have exceeded last year"
Nozomi Tanaka, who won the prize at the Tokyo Olympics, is scheduled to participate in the women's 1500m qualifying on the 9th, and has already broken the standard participation record of the world championship.
If he is in the 3rd place in the final on the 10th, he will be nominated as a representative. I want to aim for a total grade that I think I would. "
Sani Brown "I want to decide the ticket for the world championship"
Sani Brown Abdul Hakim, who is scheduled to participate in the men's 100 meters, said, "I think I'll just do it. I don't have many opportunities to run in Japan, so I hope it will be more exciting than usual, so I won the championship and participated in the standard. I want to break the record and decide the ticket for the world championship. "
Yoshihide Kiryu "My job is to set the time"
Yoshihide Kiryu, who is scheduled to participate in the men's 100 meters, missed last month's tournament because he felt uncomfortable on the back of his right thigh in the April race. I haven't had the best time for several years, and I'm only running in the 10 seconds 1 car this season, so there is still a difference with the world, but I think it's my job to set the time. I want to do that job thoroughly. "
Yuki Koike "First take the right of representation"
Yuki Koike, who is scheduled to participate in the men's 100 meters and 200 meters, said, "I think the Japan Championship is a national championship, so I'm trying to take the representative right first. In order to break the standard record for participation in the championship, I will aim for a record in the semi-finals of tomorrow for the 100 meters and in the final for the 200 meters. "
NHK will broadcast the general and BS1 broadcasts of the Japan Championships, which will be the start of the Paris Olympics two years later.
