The swimmer who did the women\u2019s individual medley double at the Tokyo Games <a href=\"https:\/\/mainichi.jp\/english\/articles\/20241018\/p2g\/00m\/0sp\/049000c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expressed thanks for the career she assembled<\/a> and is looking forward to some involvement with the sport now that she\u2019s done swimming. She will continue graduate studies in nutrition with an eye toward sports performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am absolutely happy with the career I had,\u201d Ohashi said. \u201cI\u2019m so lucky to have done something I love for as long as I did and on top of that, I won two \u2013 not one, but two \u2013 gold medals at the Olympics, a competition I never dreamed of competing in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ohashi won the 200 and 400 IM <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-double-delight-for-yui-ohashi-with-200-im-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021<\/a>, the only dampener on the achievement being that it came without fans in the stands. She was the first Japanese female swimmer to win two individual gold medals at the same Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>It culminated a steady climb for the Hikone native, who was the double IM champ at the World University Games in 2017 and the Pan Pacific Championships in 2018. She won silver in the 200 IM at the 2017 World Championships and bronze in the 400 at Worlds in 2019, then put all the pieces together spectacularly for her moment on the Olympic stage.<\/p>\n<p>Ohashi couldn\u2019t quite replicate that on the road to Paris, three years which she called \u201cterribly difficult.\u201d She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/reigning-olympic-champ-yui-ohashi-finishes-fourth-in-400-im-at-japanese-trials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">did not qualify for the 400 IM<\/a> and swam only the 200 IM, bowing out in the semifinals in 12th place. She wasn\u2019t alone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/paris-olympics-japan-spiraling-downward-after-second-straight-dismal-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in enduring a disappointing 2024 Games<\/a>, with only one Japanese swimmer \u2013 <strong>Tomoyuki Matsushita\u2019s<\/strong> silver in the men\u2019s 400 IM \u2013 taking home a medal.<\/p>\n<p>Ohashi declared her retirement in September, but <a href=\"https:\/\/olympics.com\/en\/news\/swimming-japan-ohashi-yui-retirement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she said Friday<\/a> that she had known for about a year that the Paris Olympics would be her finale. She cited flagging motivation after the high of the Tokyo Games and having to summon \u201cthe courage\u201d to reach Paris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really struggled to maintain my motivation in the three years after Tokyo,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I thought about competing in Paris, I had to go all in for one last time. The toughest was the year after the Olympics. In 2022, I had no grasp or control over my emotions. I was completely confused. And that was the state I was in for the World Championships (sixth place).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter winning gold at Tokyo, I thought the results there were what mattered. But my take on it all changed during the last three years. What made me who I am, what gave me the courage to get through things, was the actual experience of getting the most out of myself at the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Ohashi plans to go into coaching. Her nutritional sciences work has an eye toward helping others cope with challenges like the anemia she experienced growing up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Japanese swimming world is going through some difficulties, but among the young swimmers who competed with me in Paris, there are some who will be successful in the future,&#8221; Ohashi said. &#8220;I want to produce swimmers who can win gold at the Olympics.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Absolutely Happy\u2019 Olympic Champ Yui Ohashi Ready for Opportunities of Retirement Japanese Olympic medley gold
