On November 9, a debriefing session for the participants of the Rio de Janeiro Olympic and Paralympic Games was held to celebrate the great efforts of the SFC athletes—both current Keio students and Keio University alumni—who participated in the Games this summer, as well as Hisashi Mizutori, a full-time lecturer at the Faculty of Policy Management and coach of the men's gymnastics team that won the gold medal in the team all-around.
When asked by Jun Murai, Dean of the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, about their aspirations for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the athletes and coach all showed their determination to aim for even higher results than in Rio.
There was also a special moment when, in response to a request from Takeshi Kawazoe, Dean of the Faculty of Policy Management, for their "signature poses," the athletes showed off poses characteristic of their respective sports.
Although the event was brief, the athletes and coach gathered at SFC rekindled the excitement of Rio and received enthusiastic applause and cheers.
