In the interview after the race, he couldn’t answer because of crying. I was surprised to see the scene. Kitajima is crying! It’s not like his character.
When he won the gold medal in the Athens Olympics, he said "cho- kimochi ii!" in the interview. It means "It feels super good!". "Cho-" is a slang of "super". "Cho- kimochi ii!" won the grand prize in the buzzwords contest.
He is a person like that. So his crying surprised me.
It is much more difficult than aiming to go to top, that keeping one's position as world number one. Kitajima’s crying expresses that.
In fact, after the Athens Olympics, he hadn’t been able to win. He was always defeated by his rival Hansen.
Actually I don’t like him so much. But when I saw his crying, I realized how hard time he spent under extreme pressure after “cho- kimochi ii!”
Kosuke Kitajima, who can’t answer the interview due to crying
P.S.
He should be thankful to MIZUNO which is his sponsor for allowing him to wear Speedo’s swimming suit.
