Participating in the Olympics is one of my major goals, as well as my dream. But I don't want to have my appearance there be nothing more than an appearance on a stage that I dreamed of for a long time - I want to see how much I can battle against the world and to fight on with the spirit of a true challenger. I received blessings from many people when I decided to participate in the Olympics. I keenly felt how many people I've been supported by, including my family, friends, and people involved in the sport. I hope to do my best to live up to this support! |

Lately, the things that I've wanted to do (in a technical way) have begun to materialize in form and results, and I'm little by little coming closer to the person I want to be. This is my second time participating in the Olympics, and I want to concentrate on doing what I need to do to avoid losing sight of myself and only pursuing results. I think that the results, themselves, will naturally come in the end, so I ask for your support!

It was decided that I would participate in the Olympics during the intercollegiate period, and so honestly it doesn't seem quite real yet. But I am full of gratitude to everyone involved at the school for the fact that I can devote myself to training in a wonderful environment like the Waseda Ski Team, and for the fact that I get to participate in the Olympics. It's my first Olympics, so I want to do all I can and to put my best effort forward so that I can enjoy skiing in my own way without being overwhelmed by what's going on around me.

It feels like I'm finally standing at the start line. I was at the World Cup while my companions in the Ski Team were participating in the intercollegiate, so it felt like we were fighting together. I had good results and it was decided that I would participate in the Olympics, so I was really happy. I've not yet reached the level where I can approach the top position worldwide, so I hope to make adjustments during the time left and aim for a position that's even a bit above my current one!
