[Judo]Paris Olympics representative Rika Takayama “If it was Antonio Inoki…”

Rika Takayama (29), a judo representative at the Paris Olympics in the women’s 78 kg class, returned to Japan on the 23rd after winning the gold medal at the Asian Championships (Hong Kong). In an interview before her departure, Takayama said that she was confused by a reporter’s words, “If she loses this time, she won’t be seeded for the Olympics.” In her heart, she said, “She wanted to say Antonio Inoki’s “Are you an idiot who thinks about losing before you go out?”” she said, revealing her feelings at the time. With less than 100 days left for the Paris Olympics, she expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “I want to train my mind, technique, and body to get ready for the Olympics.” ▼Please subscribe to the channel▼ https://www.youtube.com/tvtokyo_sports #Rika Takayama #Judo #TV Tokyo #Sports #SPORTS #TV Tokyo
