A path to Tokyo which the New Hero of Japan Fencing circle, Toshiya Nishida imagines Vol.3 "You do not have to complete yet, I will continue my fencing now
At the fencing world championship held in Leipzig, Germany last July, there are young people who have emerged to become leading the Japanese fencing world. It is Toshiya Nishi who won the silver medal by male Fleure individual. In this competition, Saito defeated the world's powerful giants such as Giozo (Italy) of the Rio Olympic gold medal one by one with weapons of good taste as a weapon, and rushed up to the stage of the final with just the rushing bamboo momentum . Saito's momentum did not decline after the tournament, and in the All Japan Championship held in December, he dismissed domestic rivals and won his first victory. What is the path to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games that the 20-year-old youngsters who grew fast last year envisioned last year? In the third episode, I talked about my present location and the process to Tokyo I am imagining.

When I was at the World Championship last year, was there any feeling that I knew not myself?
I agree. Rather than being aware, there was a sense of "Oh, I wonder if this year is OK." I also had a lot of opportunities at the same time, so I wanted to make use of that opportunity. The spirit of the challenger was strong and I did not have anything to lose. On the other hand, the opponent is the first world championship after the Olympic Games are over. In the case of the opponent, if you lose to me, "Olympic athletes lost" Is not it said that? So, "I definitely have pressure on my partner than me, on the contrary I am not afraid of anything" I was able to enter the game. In fact, compared to before the world championships, after the world championships, my challenger spirit has been crushed unconsciously, or there is a place where I feel strange pressure, so there is a challenge now is not it.
That means you got a new position.
I agree. I felt the problem now, I also feel the difficulty and I am in pain because I do not have any results, but my sense of excitement "What is there in the future?" Is so strong that if I overcome this wall There is a sense that I can go one.
You mean you go through the way to go. What is the relationship with rivals?
Matsuyama players and Tsukiya are coming in earlier than anyone on the national team they are currently organizing, and they are giving results as well. So the presence of the two people inside the team is very big. On the other hand, players who are not members of the group battles are aiming at their position, even if they practice with them, I can understand, and I feel the rise of young players, pushing up from the bottom . But, again, the two of Matsuyama players and Tatsuke players are quite big among me.
Kinggea is a medium that focuses on tools, but is there any particular attention to tools?
After all, it is a sword. It is weight, softness of sword softness, feeling of grip part. The other side is the bonding surface, the point of the tip. I am pretty careful before the game and clean up the sword tips a lot, but I am taking a lot of time, especially maintenance on the sword, among the tools. Perhaps, I may not have any sense for tools as opposed to other players (laugh). After that, data analysis is carried out firmly.
Analysts are being stolen.
I agree. It is not limited to just before the game, I study videos from day to day and are planning measures. Analysts took videos of all the World Cup matches, so when I see the opponent's match, I watch and analyze the videos that player is fighting with the same type of players as I . I am using the same right-handed as myself and watching videos when I play against players of the same play style with almost the same physique. Then you can see "Oh, this player is taking points like this" or "You are taking points in such attacks." As for my game, I will analyze the score, points scored, and even its contents. After that, I'm sending out the decision rate as a number. All of my strong and weak places give out figures in every detail. For example, even if you have a consciousness that you have worked on this tournament in yourself, it may not appear in the data. It is greatly appreciated to be able to give it feedback. Since it comes out as a result, it is highly reliable, so I emphasize figures more than senses.
Please tell me what kind of process is going on in the future for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
At the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020, only gold medals are considered. I think that we can challenge various things in this season and next season in the sense of preparing for it. Although no results have been published this season, I think that it is not necessary to get results. Rather than finishing my fencing right now, it is time to raise the quality more and to finalize my fencing. In April 2019 the race will start with the Olympic competition, so I want to be able to compete firmly there. To that end, it is a feeling that we are preparing separating the quality of fencing from the foundation first, extracting the task and working on it immediately, and separating things you have to do repeatedly.
You are going forward while looking at your feet. We are expecting that Saito will be able to see even further growth in the future. Thank you for your time today.
Yes I will try my best. Thank you very much, also today.
