The password is “Money in Paris, money in Paris!” On the 30th, Ryoko Tani (48), a judo legend in the women’s 48 kg class and winner of five consecutive Olympic medals, visited the Ajinomoto National Training Center in Kita-ku, Tokyo, where the Japanese women’s representative for the Paris Olympics is holding a training camp, and participated in a one-hour training camp. I gave a lecture. This is the first time a similar opportunity has been offered to her since she retired from active duty after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She gave many pieces of advice, maxims, and encouragement to her juniors, who were about the same age apart as father and son.
Even though he was 1.46 meters tall, his aura was overwhelming. When Uta Abe (Park 24), an active female ace, said, “She has a great aura,” Natsumi Tsunoda (SBC Shonan Beauty Clinic), who is aiming for the first gold medal in the 48kg class since Tani, also dismissed her as “a person on TV.” . Japan Men’s National Team coach Keiji Suzuki, who was holding a training camp outside, also visited the venue and seemed drawn to the event, saying, “I felt the aura.” Athletes other than those on the Olympic team also attended the training camp, and some were so moved that they burst into tears after taking a commemorative photo.
In addition to winning two golds, two silvers, and one bronze at the Olympics, he has won the world championship seven times, and has won 14 times in the selection weight class that determines the best in Japan, making him an unrivaled legend. In his speech, he said, “I will approach the tournament with 20 or 30 different ways to fight,” “I set aside a day in the morning to think that today is the Olympics,” and “When I play against French athletes, I eat French bread.” He gave advice and told hilarious old stories, such as, “When I stood on the podium, I imagined the next competition.” Abe, who asked for advice during the Q&A session, also felt renewed, saying, “I want to make at least one record that can surpass Mr. Tani.”
After the lecture, Mr. Tani seemed to enjoy interacting with his juniors, saying, “They seemed to want to hear what I had to say, so I wanted to help them as well.If I could give you any hints,” she said, enjoying the interaction with her juniors. . Lastly, he compared it to his own famous sayings from his active days, such as, “The best is gold, the worst is gold,” “Tamura is gold, valley is gold,” “Valley is gold, mom is gold, too.” and ale. No matter how strong the opponents, pressures, and adversity he faced, he was hopeful that he would still win the gold medal as a representative player in his specialty.
