Comment from TOGAMI
First of all, I’ d like to thank everyone for all the support at the All Japan Table Tennis Championships.
It was a bitter defeat that I will never forget, but I was able to keep fighting aggressively to the end, and I strongly believe that I can become even stronger.
Also, the Paris Olympic trials for two years were a real struggle both physically and mentally, but thanks to the support from the supporters and teammates at the Meiji University Table Tennis Club, I finally made it.
At the World Championships in February and the Paris Olympics in July, I hope I can play good games to cheer people up in Japan and those affected by the Noto earthquake, and I will try hard to win the gold medal.
Thank you for your support.
