Chubu Electric Power Nakajima "Make mistakes a little further"
The defeat of Chubu Electric Power, Seina Nakajima, said, "I was able to play tenaciously until the middle of the match, but I made mistakes a little further. It was painful to be able to make a shot to flip the stone at once. It was my third match in the tournament, but I felt very strong. "

We can accurately determine the changing ice condition and adjust the shot power etc. I would like to practice properly and win next year's Japanese Championship and definitely participate in the next Beijing Olympics.
