The training camp of Japan’s men’s judo team, which is being held in Tokyo, was opened to the press, and Tate Saito, a promising young athlete who has been selected to represent the Paris Olympics in the over 100km class, said, “I cherish every day.” I want to become stronger and stronger.” I renewed my determination.
The training camp for the Japanese men’s judo team has been held since the 4th of this month at the National Training Center in Kita Ward, Tokyo, and athletes who have been selected to represent the Paris Olympics are also participating.
The practice session on the 8th was open to the press, and Hifumi Abe, who has been selected to play on the national team in the 66 kg class, actively used his special throwing techniques, including foot techniques, in a real-style randori.
Abe said enthusiastically, “The tension has increased as representatives from all weight classes have come together, and the training camp itself is also tense.We really have no choice but to do it, so I want to give it everything I have.”
On the other hand, Saito, who has been selected as a representative in the 100km+ class, finished his practice with a lighter menu, such as checking his kumite.
It was his 22nd birthday on the 8th, and after practice, he took the cake that had been prepared for him and sang the birthday song himself, making the atmosphere more relaxed.
He renewed his resolve, saying, “The next four months will be the key to whether I can continue to fight against myself.I want to cherish each day and become stronger.”
In addition, coach Keiji Suzuki said, “We were able to welcome all classes together for the training camp.We must each face our own challenges and prepare to do as expected no matter what happens.” .
