It has been revealed that Daiki Ito, who won the bronze medal at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and the ski jumping men's team, will retire from active duty only this season.
This was announced on the 7th by Megmilk Snow Brand, to which Ito belongs.
Ito is 36 years old from Shimokawa, Hokkaido.
He has been represented in the Olympic Games for the fifth time in a row since the 2006 Turin Games, and at the 2014 Sochi Games, he contributed as an ace to winning the bronze medal in the group.
Although he didn't have a chance to play at the Beijing Olympics, which closed last month, he supported the team as the oldest veteran.
According to Megmilk Snow Brand, Ito will participate in the Ito Cup, which will be held at the Okurayama Jump Stadium in Sapporo City, as the final round in Japan on the same day after holding a retirement interview in Sapporo City on the 19th of this month. ..
