Shohei Ono (Asahi Kasei), who won the Tokyo Olympics Judo Men’s 73kg class last summer for the second time in a row, revealed his practice to the press at Tenri University in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture on the 21st. He stated his aspirations for the All Japan Championship (29th, Nippon Budokan), which will be his return after the Olympics, saying, “I want to hit what I have cultivated in my judo life.”
The All Japan Championship is a traditional tournament that decides the best judo in Japan by competing indiscriminately for weight. On this day, he boldly carried out the inner thighs and osotogari, which he was good at, by randori with athletes over 100 kg. He hurt his neck in March and missed the All Japan Selection Weight Championship in early April. She is still in poor condition, but she enthusiastically said, “I only have a head-to-head match against the heavyweight class.”
