On April 10th, “Yachting Day,” a press conference was held to select the 470 class mixed sailing team for the Paris Olympics. Keiki Okada and Miho Yoshioka have been selected to represent the 470 class of sailing, which has become a mixed event since the Paris Olympics. Regarding winning a gold medal, Okada said, “If you try three times, you can get it once.” Yoshioka said, “About 60% to 70%.” Until the Tokyo Olympics, the 470 class sailing event was held in male and female pairs, but from the Paris Olympics it became a male and female pair event. They were representing the team, but in response to this, they formed a new pair and took on the challenge of competing at the Paris Olympics. Regarding this change, Yoshioka also said, “I had a hard time keeping up with the male players’ power, speed, and quick thinking.” However, the two still achieved results in international competitions, including winning the gold medal at last year’s World Championships. From now on, they will practice in places like Marseille, which is also the venue for the Paris Olympics, before competing in the competition. *There is no narration in this video. note that.
