◇I could not demonstrate my strength.

Nanami Asakuno (Nippon Construction = Archery) There was less wind than yesterday, so it was easier to shoot, but I wasn't able to use my full strength. Experiencing this stage made me want to try harder.

◇I attacked too much

Zennosuke Aoyagi (cleanup = wrestling) I tried to attack to make it an interesting match, but I attacked too much. I've never had an experience like this again, so it was fun and I felt good.

◇I'm glad I made it to the finals

Ayumi Fukushima (Breaking): I was worried about my health, so I'm glad I was able to make it to the finals. There were some things that didn't go well, but I want to put what I learned in the final to good use in the next match and believe in myself and do my best.

◇I'm glad to be able to contribute

Itsuki Ishihara (JES Elevator = Judo) I'm happy to be able to contribute to the championship. I was nervous, but I fought thinking that winning here would give me a good impression.

◇ Adjust without losing concentration

Utana Terada (JR East = Judo) I was disappointed at last year's World Championships, so I'm happy to have won. I made sure to have a good mindset and made adjustments without losing concentration.

◇ Support from cheering

Japan Men's Coach Oiwa (soccer) The players did a great job. We created a lot of chances. We want to connect this frustration to our next goal.
