A “loss” immediately after the start of the event… A look back at the “Oda quotes” left by Yuji Oda at the “World Championships in Athletics

I’m glad I was born on Earth!

I’m so glad I was born on Earth! If you didn’t see it today, you’re an idiot! I said too much!

“In Berlin, the record wall has already collapsed!”

What are you doing~tame! （What are you doing?

“The incident is happening in Paris!”

“It’s hard to believe that he came in eighth, fifth, sixth…

“Marathon gate cannot be sealed. ！！！！！！”

These are just a few of the many words that fans of “Seiriku” are familiar with, but they are nothing more than “Oda-speak.

But they are no longer just “Oda-speak. At the opening ceremony of the 2007 Osaka Games, he sang “All my treasures” after the world diva Sarah Brightman. At the Daegu Games in Korea in 2011, Koji Murofushi in the men’s hammer throw, whom he had supported for many years, won the gold medal, which he had long wished for in the world land. At that time, Mr. Oda simply exclaimed with tears in his eyes, “Murofushi~~~YATTER~! he exclaimed with tears in his eyes. He jumped out of the broadcast booth and was overjoyed. Many viewers were also moved.

The Japanese athletics federation was so upset by Oda’s exuberance that it made an unusual request to TBS, saying, “We would like you to focus more on the competition.

But even so, the bond between the staff and Mr. Oda was strong. We didn’t want to let Mr. Oda off the board, so we made every effort not to cut in on him during the competition, but that didn’t stop the Athletics Federation from making bitter complaints at every competition. Oda’s sharp remarks gradually decreased.

At last year’s event, where Oda and Nakai celebrated their final moments together, American Sydney McLaughlin won the gold medal in the women’s 400-meter hurdles final with a new world record. Excited by the accomplishment, Oda commented, “There’s nothing more to do. She added that since McLaughlin was newly married, “I’m married, newly married. I’m sure she’s going to have a baby soon already,” she said excitedly. Nakai, as usual, chided him, but he was all smiles, saying, “I can’t stop imagining! I can’t stop imagining!

Of course, this was completely out of line, but Oda’s ability to convey the heat of the scene in his own unique style is sure to have many viewers eagerly awaiting his comeback on “Seiriku.
