The Beijing Olympics were boiled by the Japanese medal rush yesterday (February 2022), and the “refreshing” on the 18th started with a word from MC Koji Kato, “No, it was amazing.” At the beginning of the program, which became a hot topic for the Olympics, four Nordic combined men’s teams, who won medals for the first time in 28 years since the Lillehammer Olympics, made a live appearance from a studio in Beijing.

“Waxman did a good job”
The Japanese team finished 4th in the jump in the first half and started the cross country in the second half 12 seconds behind the top. Akito Watabe (33), the third runner who won the bronze medal in the Nordic combined individual large hill, connected to Ryota Yamamoto (24) in the lead group and finished in 3rd place, which is thinner than Germany in 2nd place. Yamamoto, who played a major role in the anchor, said, “When I returned to the waiting room after the jump, I was told,’Ryota, 4th.’
When asked by Kato about the cause of the victory, Watanabe said, “Skis slipped a lot. Waxman did a good job.” It is said that it started to snow suddenly just before the jump yesterday, and the quality of the snow suddenly changed. “It was difficult for each team to change the wax suddenly. Among them, I think that the wax of the Japanese team hit a lot and it led to a good race. If the skis do not slip, I can rest on the descent. I can’t save my physical strength. We are inferior in running ability compared to other countries, so (preserving physical strength) is very big. “
Kato “It was a victory not only for the players but also for the staff around them.”
