While the goal they\u2019ve set for themselves is winning a medal at Tokyo 2020, right now they are focusing on improving their technical skills while playing with the sport\u2019s international elite on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very proud to represent Japan. I have never experienced the Olympics before. This will be my first time to be an Olympian. There has been enough bad news recently, so I hope to bring good news to everybody in the world,\u201d 31-year-old Miki Ishii told Volleyball World on the eve of the J&amp;T Banka Ostrava Beach Open 4-star event in Czechia. \u201cBecause of the coronavirus situation, it\u2019s a hard time for everybody. Right now, everybody\u2019s safety comes first. I hope it is the first priority for everyone. If we can keep the coronavirus situation under control, I think we are going to have a great Olympic tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59718\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/e-241x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"241\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/e-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/e-768x958.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/e-580x723.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/e-500x623.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/e.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been participating in the World Tour events in Cancun, Sochi and here in Ostrava, thanks to the implementation of the bubble system. I hope we can do the same thing at the Olympics, so we can have a great event,\u201d 35-year-old Megumi Murakami added.<\/p>\n<p>Ishii and Murakami are really excited about Japan hosting the world\u2019s most important sports event of the year. They are proud to represent their country, but also hope to reach the Olympic podium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHosting the Olympics is definitely going to help us in chasing our goal to win a medal. Right now we don\u2019t know if we are going to have spectators at the stadium during the Olympics, but there are so many people in Japan who support us. So we want to show them our appreciation,\u201d Ishii said.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59717\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d-580x841.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d-500x725.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d.jpg 662w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany teams in Japan want to play at the Olympics, but we won the spot reserved for the host country, so we are going to play for them as well,\u201d said Murakami.<\/p>\n<p>Doing well at Tokyo 2020 is the main reason the Japanese pair have not missed any of the 4-star stops on the World Tour this spring. They took part in all three Cancun tournaments and in the event in Sochi, and now they are in Ostrava preparing for their first main draw match on the Czech sand on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe aim to win an Olympic medal, so we want to compete at a high level. That\u2019s why we participate in the World Tour events, to get valuable experience,\u201d said Ishii.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Ishii and Murakami have been playing on the World Tour as a team since they got together in 2015. Year by year, their appearances became more frequent and in 2019 they went to as many as 15 tournaments. Although they have not been able to go past the first elimination round since coming back on Tour in 2021, their goal to win a medal at Tokyo is not far-fetched at all.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59716\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/c-1-203x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/c-1-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/c-1-580x857.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/c-1-500x738.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/c-1.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Previously, they won two medals on the Tour together, a Daegu 1-star gold and a Tokyo 3-star bronze, but they also have some good results from higher-level tournaments, such as their fifth-place finishes at the 2016 Long Beach Grand Slam, the 2018 Gstaad Major and the 2019 Chetumal 4-star, their last World Tour appearance before the pandemic-prompted interruption.<\/p>\n<p>And with the home-court advantage on their side, reaching the Tokyo Olympic podium this summer is a realistic goal and Miki and Megumi are ready to give their all to achieve it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince we host the Olympics, I can also feel other countries\u2019 support, more than usual, while on Tour.

We are trying to bring our skills to the next level and that\u2019s what we are focusing on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Ostrava being the last Tour stop within the Olympic qualification process and the date of the opening ceremony in Tokyo fast approaching, the excitement about the beach volleyball tournament at the Games can be felt stronger and stronger at the premises of the World Tour events.
