<h2> Shin, the strongest female primate, won the gold medal in an impressive performance!</h2>
<p> It was the gold medal that everyone had expected. At the moment of jubilation, Akari Fujinami fell to her knees, exploded with joy, and exclaimed, &#8220;I can&#8217;t complain.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> It was an overwhelming victory that I can&#8217;t complain about,&#8221; she exclaimed. After the match, Akari was so excited to find Sho Sakurai, 42, of &#8220;Arashi&#8221; fame, in the interview space. When I suggested that we take a two-shot of him, he was very happy despite his nervousness,&#8221; said sports photographer Sachiko Yasutaka.</span></span></p>
<p> It was the moment when the strongest athlete in the wrestling world became an ordinary girl again.</p>

<h2> 65m80 from the first throw!</h2>
<p> Lying on the field, he munched on his favorite sponge cake. &#8230;&#8230; Haruka Kitaguchi, who won gold in the women&#8217;s javelin at the Paris Olympics, was looking very relaxed before the final.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> To be at the top of the world, you can&#8217;t be too stoic,&#8221; she said. You need to be as relaxed as Kitaguchi.</span></span></p>
<p> Mr. Tamesue Dai, a former track and field athlete who competed in the Sydney and Beijing Olympics, said, &#8220;Kitaguchi was relaxed in the final of the Paris Olympics.</p>
<p> Kitaguchi, who was relaxed in the Paris Olympics final, set a season&#8217;s personal record of 65m80 from the first throw. She continued to dominate the other competitors until the final six throws, bringing home the first Japanese gold medal in the women&#8217;s field events.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"><span class="strong-in-content"> She said, &#8220;Many athletes fail because the training environment overseas is not suitable for them. However, Kitaguchi found her own coach (David Sekerak from the Czech Republic) and went abroad by herself to open the way for herself. His experience competing around the world must have helped him develop a mentality that does not waver on the big stage. I think there is a good chance that she will be able to achieve her dream of reaching the 70m record, which she has set as her goal,&#8221; says Tamesue.</span></span></p>
<p> Kitaguchi is likely to create a new legend at the world championships in Tokyo in September 2013.</p>
