【Judo】Story of Maruyama and Ono: To the Olympics with a Senpai

Joshiro Maruyama (26) is a Judo prodigy in the -66kg weight scene.
He is currently competing with former world champion Hifumi Abe, to win a spot at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, but not a lot of people know about his blood, sweat, and tears along the long path he walked to reach this level of competition.
As a graduate of Tenri University in Japan, he has always been working together with -73kg Rio Olympic Gold Medalist, Shohei Ono, a senior Senpai of Tenri University he looks up to.
With them admitting eachother's talent and strength, they have been training together up to this day, in an attempt to reach the spotlight at the Olympics together.
Will they be able to prove their “Absolute Power” in the Tokyo Olympics?
Shohei Ono "Heading to the Tokyo Olympic, I will turn every factor surrounding me into strength."

He isn't

[@paulstarstarpaul5700]

It’s really sad that Maruyama hasn’t made it to the Olympics and probably won’t win a medal at the Olympics because of his age even though he is such a great Judoka. To be honest the competition could have gone either way and both are deserving of an Olympic medal. One ironic feature of this rivalry is that both were most successful on the international stage against each other without the red backpatch and title of world champion. After Abe‘s initial success as World Champion he first lost to Maruyama in Osaka and afterwards lost his title of world champion in Tokyo. However after that loss that could have been the „final blow“ to end the rivalry Abe-now without his title- turned the trend and won as we all know the following two matches. In my opinion this shows that titles are won on one single day and on the next day there can already be someone who is better than you.

Os melhores judocas do mundo 💯🇯🇵👌

[@dumdum7099]

I like Maruyama to be in the Olympic

[@Wassim_gh]

Bro maruyama deserved career like ono

[@kennethclark1583]

Now All became history with abe siblings reached the top on same day. It’s still sad to know Maruyama is exactly 4 years older than Abe. That would be better for us tenri duo fans if abe would wait for Paris 2024. But it is what it is. Abe didn’t disappoint the country, that’s something at least maruyama would feel better about his situation. Keep fighting Maru ! 31 is not too late and u will sure have your senpai breaking the ceiling with u!!

[@Dergicetea]

I think/thought the same as you. However, now that Ono has retired from competition at the age of 30, I don't know how this can affect Maruyama on a mental level.

[@user-kr1rl4hv3m]

Өте мықты дзюдоистер !

[@wsl3119]

BFFs😂

[@tnitni0002]

They aint pros until their ears are all busted up.

[@maxhope7691]

Why does Ono support Maruyama instead of Abe?

[@flower6754]

Because they belong to the same university and train together all the time. Ono is Maruyama's senpai.

[@xaxaboeli]

Maruyama is better than Abe.

[@haydenfu9053]
