Olympic

The view from my eyes on 3m
i didn't do anything this week but diving.
i was going to study but...you know.. it s a break.
there was no way i can study! haha
The Diving World Cup started this week in China, Beijing, which was the most important event this year for most divers to qualify for Olympic games.
I couldn't wait to see the result every morning and evening because my Japanese, Canadian and Colombian teammates were competeing for almost all events.
one of my Japanese teammates, Ken Terauchi had already qualified for Olympic games before this World Cup so it was an event to appeal himself to judges.
However, another my teammate hadn't qualified yet, which means this is the last chance to qualify to Olympic.
She got 9th in preliminary but couldn't go to the Final... she couldn't make it..
I couldn't believe it because I know how tough she was.
She has trained very hard, probably harder than anyone else in the team, and her dream was always going to an Olympic.
I'm so sad just by thinking about how she feels..
On the other hand, my Colomian teammate..well...I think i should explain about them before the results.
They are from Colombia, one coach and 3 divers.
They are really really really good viders and we became a very good friends as teammates while they were training in Calgary.
it is because..like..as divers but also..you know..like,,from outside of Canada...?
Anyway,
If they qualify to Olympic games, they might come back to Calgary to train with us again, so all member in Dive Calgary hoped them to dive well in this World Cup.
And,,, they did.
all member made Olympic games!
isnt it great?!
i cant say 100% happy because one of my teammate couldnt make it but,,
i was happy this week.
and Im going back to school tomorrow..
im not happy..haha
im afraind of "MY" result..of course, it s mid tearm.
im not sure if i can qualify for EAP3..
it is much lower level when it s compared to Olympic games but,
still, making EAP3 seems to be so hard for me like an Olympic..haha
6 more weeks!!!
I cant wait to go back to home in Japan after this semester!!!
i think i can do anything for it!

I really admire you that you are a good drver. Welcome to Beijing this summer to see Olympic games. I think it is a good chance because Japan in near to China. I hope one day, we can see you in the Olympic games as a diver.

I like to see the diving competition. Their movement is very graceful. I am sure you can be a very good diver!

I think a lot of people respect you because of your great talent as a diver, but I also believe you can make it to EAP 3. If you are such a hard worker in the water, or actually in the air, you also can reach EAP3. Anyway, good luck with everything!
