Miho Takagi "A meaningful race"
Miho Takagi commented, "When I got to speed, I was conscious of the balance, keeping my physical strength while preserving it. There was a feeling that I was able to make the image I wanted to slide, and after a long time, it was good Two years later, given the current situation of the Olympics and the world's top players, I thought it was important to make a responsive slide at this time, so it became a meaningful race. "
Kodaira "good feeling as a condition"
Nao Kodaira said, "I was in the middle of the season as a mid-season test, and I was able to get close to my best time, so I was able to get a good sense of the situation. Entering, maintaining the speed in the middle, I was able to slide close to the finish plan without frustration, but it is still far from the ideal slide, so it is about 50 points. "
Nana Takagi "I don't have the feelings or skills yet"
Nana Takagi said, "It was a bit more likely to be done. After the fourth round of the World Cup this month, I was in good shape, but I feel like I'm going to show my strength in a race like this one where there is a sense of tension unique to the selection event. And I haven't learned the technology yet. "
He said that he slid in the same group with his sister Miho, "I thought I was a little closer during the race, but I was farther away than I imagined. I want to grow up so I can fight at the same level." I was talking.
