On the other hand, Hidemasa Morita, who complained of discomfort in his left calf and continued to undergo adjustments on a separate menu, did not participate in the overall practice and was in the room training to improve his condition.
Japan's practice was closed to the public about 25 minutes after the start on this day, and it seems that they confirmed the tactics.
