Miho Takagi, who is participating in the world speed skating championship, withdrew from the first half of the four-sport "all-round" event, saying her "body was screaming."
Takagi revealed this on his homepage.
The World Speed Skating Championships held in Germany will be held in two categories: ``Sprint'', in which runners skate two short-distance events twice, and ``All-round,'' in which runners compete in 4 events from short distance to long distance. .
Takagi won his second overall victory in the sprint on the 8th, the second day of the tournament, and on the 9th he competed in the first half of the all-round event, the 500m and 3000m, and came in 3rd place. I had it on.
However, before the second half of the All-Round event to be held on the 10th, Takagi withdrew from the tournament midway through, and posted on his homepage, ``I feel bad about withdrawing mid-way, but my body was screaming.'' "I decided that I shouldn't skate," he explained.
She then commented, ``I have no doubts about abstaining, but it's still frustrating. It's almost like I feel regret.''
