Interview
-
Q : Did you have any fixed pre-race routines?
I didn’t have any specific routines. I had to reduce my training before each race, and I focused on managing energy until the last minute, paying extra attention to my diet and strategically replenishing energy before the race.
-
Q : What did you do to refresh yourself during your off days?
I didn’t have any particular activities planned during my off days; instead, I created free days with no plans at all, and that helped me to relax and refresh.
-
Q : Is there a sport other than your own that you would like to try?
Basketball. During warm-ups, I sometimes played different sports, and I especially enjoyed basketball.

Seiko’s Measurement Technology
Timing and measurement are indispensable for sports competitions. Seiko has supported a variety of sports since 1964.
What we bring to each competition includes cutting-edge technology, experience, and a passion for sports.
Starting Blocks
Representative Events: 100m / 200m
The starting block has built-in speakers to ensure that the start sound is heard equally by all athletes. It also has pressure sensors to detect the pressure of the athlete’s foot on the footplate, which helps to judge false starts.
Photo Finish System
Representative Event: 100m
This camera can measure up to 1/10,000th of a second. Using the photo finish camera, measurements are taken in 1/100th of a second increments, as is stipulated by the rules.
