On the morning of the 27th, a couple of ice dancers Misato Komatsubara and Takashi, who were appointed as the representatives of the Beijing Olympics in figure skating, spoke to NHK about their enthusiasm for the production, which has only one month left.
The couple of ice dance Misato Komatsubara and her husband Takashi won the All Japan Championship held in Saitama City for the fourth consecutive time until the 26th, and were appointed as the first Olympic representative.
One night after the representative offer, the two responded to NHK's interview, and Misato said, "I couldn't believe it in a fluffy state when I heard yesterday's offer, but after one night, I got a lot of messages and phone calls. I realized that it was really decided. I'm motivated a lot. "
Misato said about Daisuke Takahashi, who was also from Okayama prefecture and was competing for the Olympics. A lot of attention was paid to ice dancing. I got the result, but I respect it from the bottom of my heart. " "I'm doing it," he said, tightening his mind toward the actual performance of the Games.
In addition, Takashi said, "I was more nervous than acting when I was waiting for the representative to be decided. I am very happy that we did our best and got the result. Before the NHK Trophy, we should get the score and the result. I was skating, but after that, I searched for answers in my heart, such as why I skated together and why I acted. I will continue to do my best with that feeling. "
