Masataka Sugino (26) from Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, who won the gold medal in the men’s gymnastics team at the Paris Olympics, was presented with the Prefectural Honor Award from his hometown, Mie Prefecture. On the evening of the 20th, Sugino was greeted with thunderous applause by Mie Prefectural Office staff. At first glance, when he received the Prefectural Honor Award trophy from the governor, he simply said, “It’s heavy.” He expressed his enthusiasm for coming back with three gold medals at the next Olympics. Masataka Sugino: “We will win the team’s second consecutive title at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. We will do our best to win medals in the individual events that we were not able to get this time, and gold medals on the pommel horse and horizontal bar.” The Mie Prefectural Honor Award has previously been given to Saho Yoshida. Sugino is the first gymnast to receive the award, with seven people including Sato and Fujinami Akari receiving the award. ■CTV NEWS official website https://news.ntv.co.jp/n/ctv ■Twitter https://twitter.com/CHUKYOTV_NEWS ■TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@ctv_news ■LINE NEWS https: //line.me/R/ti/p/%40oa-ctvnews ■For questions, concerns, or investigation requests, please contact “Your Middle Reporting Team”! https://www.ctv.co.jp/interview/ ■To post photos, videos, etc., go to “Catch!
