JOC had set the goal of being the world's third largest gold medal winner in the Tokyo Olympics so far, and said that it was necessary to acquire 20 to 33 pieces for that purpose.

Last month, we held meetings with playing organizations, targeting 30 gold medals that will be twice as many as twelve that we acquired at the last Rio de Janeiro Games after hearing the current status and issues of strengthening players and scrutinizing them It was decided by JOC that it was confirmed on the 5th board of directors meeting.

The number of gold medals won by Japan at the Olympics so far is the largest in the Tokyo Convention in 1964 and the Athens Games in 2004, and in the Tokyo competition two years later, as a host country We aim to increase.

Also, although I do not clarify the goals by each competition, in addition to exercise judo, wrestling girls, gymnastics and swimming, in addition to table tennis and badminton etc. that have also proven track record on the world stage Also expectations are rising.

Meanwhile, we decided to further analyze the goal of total acquisition including silver medals and bronze medals.

JOC's Yasuhiro Yamashita player strengthening headquarters said, "I do not think it is a simple goal, but I think we can combine the power of the sports world, and there is a possibility to fix it in the future, but personally I do not intend to revise downwards, I'd like to scrutinize for the higher one.
