Olympic track and field women's 1500m

2021-Summer scenery

About Nozomi Tanaka。8I missed the live broadcast of the semi-finals on April 4th (I wonder if there was a live broadcast?)、Looking at the results, I came in 5th place with a time of 3 minutes 59.19 seconds and advanced to the finals! From my impression in the interview、I think I was able to run the race calmly.。It's not a fluke、by a strong opponent、I guess he's finally starting to show his true potential.。

8In the preliminaries held on the 2nd of the month, I broke my own Japanese record by nearly 3 seconds.、1Today after a day、Reduced by another 3 seconds。surely、3Ethiopia even if the seconds are shortened、Still short of Dibaba's world record of 3 minutes 50.07 seconds.。Even so, there are only about 10 runners in the world who can run under 4 minutes.、54There are only about one person in each range between seconds and 59 seconds.、This may have exceeded the expectations of those involved in track and field, who were hoping for a good performance.。

There is a “superhuman” named Hassan in this tournament.。1500Caught up in another athlete's fall during qualifying、Almost finished and with 300m left, I defeated everyone.、“That person” who finished in first place。Hassan has already won gold in the 5000m.。Outstanding durability and speed。

Because those superhumans are my opponents.、Tanaka has almost no chance of winning a medal this time.。It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.、In a sense, I feel like it's going to be a good fight.。However、In the finals, medal candidates tend to focus on competition rather than time.。We often slow down to be conscious of each other.。Oh dear、Then that's it、What kind of response can you take?、I’m looking forward to the new “superhuman” race.。The final is tomorrow August 6th。

“Money” even in play、Even if you give everything, it's still money

It's already the second half of the Olympics full of contradictions。What I felt strongly so far was、New events (especially skateboarding)、Surfing looks really fun、It's almost an extension of play.、Traditional events are really impressive、Even if I sacrificed everything, the goal was still far away.。"Extension of play" of course does not mean that the level is low.。It's a story about the state of mind。

How to become an Olympic-level athlete、Not only the talent and effort of the individual from an early age.、I often hear that it involves tremendous sacrifice on the part of the whole family.。that's why、It is a story of trials that involves overcoming many difficulties and reaching the glorious goal.。That also moves us、new athletes、That kind of story doesn't seem to suit skateboarding in particular.。Suddenly、While I was having fun playing and practicing with my friends, I ended up winning the gold medal.、As I draw, I get rid of tension from my body。That's really refreshing、Isn't this the origin of sports?、made me think。

What I feel especially strongly when I look at Japanese players is a sense of sadness.。I see a coach telling me to “smile!” even when I smile.。You can tell by watching school sports.。It's important to win、For that purpose, I will force you to practice hard.。The stronger the school, the more it restricts daily life.。By ``developing a winning habit,'' students also feel that they have improved.、Be able to withstand the harsh Sparta。But、If you think about it, you can say that it's a kind of "brainwashing".。After decades of doing this in schools all over Japan,、The entire nation may have been brainwashed into the "hard work" mentality.。

If skateboarders were a “club” like that.、I think he's quitting。I'm doing it because I love it、I do research because I like it.。I don't like being forced.。Rules so that we can really enjoy ourselves、We should all make it together.。Their happy smiles seem to say so.。The world of sports combines with play、I hope it starts to change。

CG sketch practice

Seaside town - CG sketch

Attempting a ``pencil sketch'' using CG。I have uploaded it several times so far、this、Get used to it a little more during the coronavirus summer vacation、I want to evolve。

This sketch is、While looking at what I drew with a pen on site、Drawn with CG。Whether it's in a sketchbook or on a computer.、Drawing itself is not difficult, but、Connect it to various media on your computer (for example, like I uploaded it to this blog)、It is difficult to develop it by using it in other media.、Or rather, I'm at a loss as to what to do.。

It's much easier to just draw on a computer。No need to carry around a heavy sketchbook、Eliminates the need for multiple pens and paints (water is especially an issue for watercolors)。But、The best part of sketching is breathing in the local atmosphere.、to be exposed to the wind、Wonder。There are many different smells at the seaside.。It's also fun to listen to the conversations of the people who live there.。Buy a drink at a shop along the way、talk to the store staff。CG doesn't have that at all.。This sketch too、I drew while listening to classical music in my atelier.。

Even if you look at what you drew, it looks exactly like it、It's a completely different world。I would like to be able to do both.。
