Sara Takanashi "I can't give an answer here"
At the end of this season, Sara Takanashi said, "At the Olympic Games, which was my biggest goal, I couldn't do my role and I couldn't do it, and it really bothered the team. I think I'm able to stand here now with the help of the staff and everyone involved. I couldn't think of whether I could fight until the final round of the World Cup, but there are a lot of things. I was able to fight until the final race with the support of people. I was really happy. "
For next season, after saying "This season is just over and I haven't been thinking about the next thing. Yes. Um." I think I have to think about it and talk with the people around me, so I can't give an answer right now. "
To the fans who supported me at the end, "Thank you for supporting me throughout the season. As for the future, I haven't been able to give a clear answer here yet. I often do it myself. I would like to think about it and run toward the place where I should go next. "
Yuki Ito "I want to create a team with young players"
Yuki Ito said, "At the beginning of the season, I started without passing the qualifying, but I think I was able to do everything I could for the Beijing Olympics. I was lucky enough to help, but at the World Cup, I was able to reach the podium for the first time in four years, and I had a lot of experience this season. "
For next season, "The goal is to compete in the World Cup with young players. Japanese junior players are getting stronger, so they can also participate in the World Cup. I want it, and I want to build a team with young players while clinging to the representative so that the players won't lose the frame. "
