Ryota Suzuki, the captain of the track and field club in the 4th year of the Faculty of Business Administration at Josai University, participated in the World Relay held in Silesia, Poland on May 2021st and 5nd, 1 as a representative of Japan and won the bronze medal at the 2m relay.In addition, OB Kentaro Sato won the silver medal in the 400m relay.

 鈴木涼太選手が2走を務めた日本チームは、1日の予選を全体7位で通過し、2日の決勝は5位でフィニッシュしたが、2位と3位のチームが失格となり、繰り上がりで3大会ぶりの銅メダルを獲得した。4×100mリレーは東京五輪の出場権をすでに獲得済みで、今回は若手のチームで参加した。

 In addition, OB Kentaro Sato (4 graduate, Fujitsu) who participated in the final of the 400x3m relay as the third run contributed to winning the silver medal, which is the first high-ranking prize in the senior world competition.At the same time, he won the right to participate in the Tokyo Olympics.

 Suzuki knew that "Sakai (Ryuichiro) was cramping his leg after the match.I couldn't accelerate in that part, so I wonder if the baton (pass) to Daisuke (3rd run Miyamoto) didn't go well. (The first two countries will be disqualified) There was a happening, but I think I was able to get the result of 2rd place because I was able to deal with such a baton firmly.As a future task, I felt that my running ability was defeated by players from other countries, so I would like to improve my (own) time so that I can run better the next time I represent Japan. " I talked to him.
