In preparation for the new season, which is the pre-season for the Beijing Olympics, we started training at the training camp in Okinawa Miyakojima in the beginning of last month, and planned to camp overseas this month, but due to the influence of the new coronavirus I was asked by the company to refrain from team activities, and I did not practice it in earnest.
The emergency declaration was lifted at the end of last month, and at the beginning of this month, the Miyanomori Jump Stadium, which was discontinued by Sapporo City, became available, and full-scale practice began.
During the practice on the 18th, Kobayashi made four jumps while paying attention to the approach posture, and two of them showed jumps over 90 meters, which is the K point, which is the standard for adding points.
Kobayashi said, “It's fun to practice with friends. It's difficult to adjust this time, but in the new season I want to cheer those who see me with big jumps.”
