successes

Kazumi Watanabe took part in the Olympic Games three times . At the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles , he finished eleventh with 186 points. Four years later , he moved into the semifinals in Seoul with 147 points, in which he scored 48 goals and reached the final in fifth with a total of 195 points. There he was the weakest of the six shooters with 21 points, so that he finished last with 216 points and thus the sixth place overall. In 1992 he finished the qualification in Barcelona with 148 points, the highest number of points achieved. Only Dmytro Monakov scored as many points. In the semifinals, 47 points followed, his total of 195 points was again enough for the final round. Like Petr Hrdlička , who had tied on points up to that point , Watanabe hit 24 goals, which is why the two had a jump-off for Olympic victory. In contrast to Hrdlička, Watanabe missed the first goal and received the silver medal behind Hrdlička and in front of Marco Venturini , who won bronze.

In 1978 Watanabe was runner-up in Seoul with the Trap team , which in addition to Watanabe also included Kan Numajiri , Mitsuyoshi Kodaira and Masao Obara . On the continental level, he secured the title at the Asian Championships in singles both in 1987 in Beijing and in 1990 in Seoul. At the Asian Games he won the silver medal in the team competition in Tehran in 1974 in the skeet . Four years later he took first place with the Trap team in Bangkok , a success that he also achieved in the individual competition in New Delhi in 1982 . Watanabe took the gold medal ahead of Yu Haiquan and Randhir Singh . With the team he won the bronze medal in 1982, which he succeeded again in Beijing in 1990 .
