45-year-old Kyoko Iwasaki, a ``young-looking'' and ``beautiful mature woman'' appears on ``Sanmoni'' and viewers are blown away by Jun Miho's illustrations and Hiroshi Sekiguchi teases.
Kyoko Iwasaki (45), who won the gold medal in the women's 200-meter breaststroke at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics at the age of 14, appeared on TBS's ``Sunday Morning'' on the 3rd, causing a stir on the internet.
Mr. Iwasaki appeared in the sports corner as a commentator along with Motohito Iguchi, who was active at Softbank and Lotte. When host Hiroshi Sekiguchi, an actor, said, "You're swimming even though it's cold," she responded, "We already have an indoor pool. Regardless, the Japan Open is still being held until today." She answered with a wry smile.
Since Mio Narita, who won the women's 400m individual medley and 200m individual medley, was 16 years old, Sekiguchi asked, "How old ware you, Iwasaki-san? When did you win the medal?" When Iwasaki answered, ``I was 14 years old,'' Sekiguchi said, ``She said she was the happiest she's ever been in her life.'' Everyone was surprised,'' Sekiguchi said with a touch of humor.
Iwasaki has been broadcasting swimming competitions and occasionally appearing on variety shows, but it seems like it's been a while since she's been seen by viewers of "Sunmoni," with comments online like, "You look younger," "Kyoko Iwasaki, you're so cute," and " Kyoko Iwasaki hasn't changed.'' ``I thought it was Jun Miho, but it was Kyoko Iwasaki.'' ``Iguchi and a beautiful mature woman, Kyoko Iwasaki.'' ``Kyoko Iwasaki was on TV, and she was beautiful.'' Furthermore, there were some tsukkomi comments towards Sekiguchi, such as, ``Don't attack Hiroshi Sekiguchi ~'' and ``I wonder if the recognition of Hiroshi Sekiguchi has stopped since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, when she competed outdoors.''
