The captain of the Olympics is “Japan’s fastest man” athletics, Ryota Yamaken! The medal acquisition rate is 50%! ? https://cocokara-next.com/athlete_celeb/ryotayamagata-captain-of-japan-national-team/

Until now, there was only one main jockey, but the International Olympic Committee has adopted a new rule from this tournament in which one male and one female pair will be appointed in consideration of gender equality. At the Tokyo Olympics, which advocates “diversity and harmony,” Hachimura, who has a Benin father and a Japanese mother and is active worldwide, was selected as the men’s representative.

The girl Susaki is not so well known yet, but she is a gold medal candidate for the 50 kg wrestling class. With 66 consecutive victories against overseas players, he was selected with great expectations as the “next generation ace” in the wrestling world. Mikako Kotani of the 1988 Seoul Olympics was the first girl to serve as a standard-bearer. Since then, Kumi Nakada, Ryoko Tamura, Kyoko Hamaguchi, Ai Fukuhara, Saori Yoshida and so on have been lined up.

So far, 19 people have served as the flag bearers of the Summer Olympics, and 9 people have won medals. Five of them are gold medals. Takashi Ono, Kosei Inoue, and Saori Yoshida, who also served as captains of the Japanese team in another tournament, have all won gold medals.
