Noi’s performance in the championships :
Tamaki Noi
This event was my first overseas competition, so I was very nervous. When I was selected as a member of the national team, I felt somewhat uneasy. At the same time, I was very grateful for the wonderful environment of Rikkyo University’s swimming team, which gave me self-confidence. I was not satisfied with my results, and I am not happy about them, but I was able to clearly identify the points that I need to improve, that is, basic training regarding my power and speed.
It was also a great opportunity for me to deepen my understanding of different cultures through exchanges with overseas swimmers, and to experience firsthand that sports can transcend national borders. Many people cheered and supported me, which encouraged me to do my best. I’d like to thank them all.
I will continue to practice every day to establish new records in the future. I appreciate your continued support.
- Women’s 400-meter individual medley at 4:49.15 7th in the final
