Akari Fujinami, an 18-year-old who is aiming for the Paris Olympics two years later in the women's 53 kg class of the All-Japan Selection Championship for wrestling, has won the championship for the second time in a row and has been selected as the representative of the world championship.
The All-Japan Wrestling Championship, which also serves as the representative selection for the World Championships in Serbia in September, is held at the Komazawa Gymnasium in Tokyo from the 16th to the 4th, and the 3rd day, the 18th, is for men and women. A total of eight classes were played.
Of these, in the women's 53 kg class, 18-year-old college freshman Fujinami, who won the world championship last year and this year's Asian championship, and Haruna Okuno, who won the world championship four years ago, played in the final. ..
In the game, Fujinami made good use of his long limbs with tackles and skillful movements, and accumulated points by taking the back of the opponent and winning 4-0 to win the second straight victory.
Fujinami won the championship following the All Japan Championship in December last year, and was selected as the World Championship representative in September.
In addition, Mayu Mukaida, who won the gold medal in this class of the Tokyo Olympics, and Mayu Mukaida, who was the maiden name, will participate in the 55 kg class of this tournament, so there was no match against Fujinami.
Fujinami has increased her consecutive wins in the official game since 2017, when she was in the second year of junior high school, to "100" and showed solid growth toward the Paris Olympics.
In addition, in the men's freestyle 92 kg class, Sosuke Takatani, who participated in the Tokyo Olympics, won the championship for the first time in this class and was selected as the world championship representative.
