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。

Olympic、Listening to player interviews after the game、Every athlete definitely wants to win a gold medal.、makes me feel。

To reach something beyond your (current) limits、Everyone needs strong motivation。The stronger the need, the more effort I will make.、I have the patience for that.。The best place to bring together these extreme forms is、Maybe it's the Olympics。The joy of ``beating others'' is probably instinctual, but、What kind of life is it that continues to amplify it?、I can't imagine。I think it's amazing whether it's silver or bronze.、for them、A gold medal is something that cannot be replaced even if you add up dozens of them.、I feel like I understand that。

Gold medal = 1st place、Is it the same thing with the title of 1st place?、Probably not.。I want a “gold medal” as clear “physical evidence”。I thought the pose of biting into the gold medal was a little naughty.、Touch the gold medal with the most sensitive nerves around your mouth.、I reconsidered that perhaps that sense of materiality is necessary (for mental health).。

For me, who just casually watches and listens,、Isn't it enough if you work hard and get something?、Just setting a new personal record is admirable.、I think so。I don't think that's wrong though、I found out that there is not a single athlete (at least not an Olympic athlete) who thinks like that.。

7The Olympics began with the opening ceremony on the night of May 24th.。Drone flight performance? Other than that, it's thin with almost no substance.、Or a meaningless performance。This is different from saying they refrained from being flashy because of the coronavirus pandemic.。It just shows the shallowness of my thoughts.。It was just an elementary school-level school performance held on a national scale.、It has become a symbol of a waste of tax money.。Drone flights seem to be a preview of upcoming wars and forms of domination.、It gave me an eerie feeling of the future.。

Judo gold medal rush every day from the next day。Have the people been completely moved by this? Asahi Shimbun, which had written an editorial against the holding of the Olympics.、It has completely transformed itself into an Olympic PR agency.。What was the meaning of that editorial?。Because it has already been held、Does this mean that it is better to be swayed now than to maintain an opposing opinion?。It's a really good newspaper company.。In that way, he has already forgotten his remorse for being complicit in the Pacific War.。However, as August 15th approaches、I'm sure he'll start preaching ``repentance'' to the people again as if it were someone else's problem.。

Bach of the IOC made fun of the Japanese people, saying, ``If the Japanese athletes perform well in the first half, (the Japanese people) will immediately become supporters of the Olympics.''、Just look at the media、It can be said that Bach is right.。

Although、athletes are innocent。They're just trying to be athletes.。Japanese athletes expressed their gratitude by saying, ``Thank you for holding the event under these circumstances.''、The way the media ended the interview with an arrogant way of implicitly forcing them to thank everyone by saying, ``A word to everyone who supported me.''、"ah、This is Japanese culture."、I feel sad though。
