Every two laps, one player at the end of the race is eliminated (elimination), and the end is an elimination that ends in a one-on-one match. On the second day of the “UCI Track Nations Cup Round 1 (Jakarta)”, Hideya Hashimoto, who had been holding his breath after the Tokyo Olympics, demonstrated his ability and won the men’s elimination. Kazushige Kuboki, who also participated in the same race, performed well and came in 4th, once again demonstrating the existence of the Japanese team to the world. In the women’s elimination, high school student Maho Kakita, who was making her first appearance in an elite individual event, finished 8th, and Yuwa Uchino finished 9th. Comment from Hideya Hashimoto: “I believe that attacking is the best defense, so from the second half onwards, I kept moving forward and used my legs to survive the race. I decided to pose like this (peace sign) before I ran, so I’m glad I was able to do it safely.Thanks to the team and everyone else, I was able to win. Thank you very much.We will increase the quota for the Paris Olympics even a little, and aim to win as many medals as the Japanese team, and we will travel.”Race report: https://morecadence.jp/track/ 129929 Video provided by: JKA
