Last month, Sara Takanashi, a ski jumping girl who revealed her intention to continue working, responded to an interview in Japan for the first time after the Beijing Olympics, saying, "I want to perform a performance that makes many people feel something." I talked about my determination.
Ski jumping, Japanese ace Takanashi was disqualified for the new event of the Beijing Olympics held in February, a mixed team, because the thigh circumference of the suit was 2 cm larger than the regulation.
He didn't say whether he would continue to be active after the end of the season, but in June he announced on his SNS that he would continue to be active.
Takanashi participated in the jump tournament for elementary and junior high school students held in Shibetsu City, Hokkaido, and responded to the press coverage in Japan for the first time after the Beijing tournament.
Among them, Takanashi said, "The painful period continued and my head seemed to be punctured. But I was able to reconfirm that I like jumping while flying, and I saw the people who supported me happy, and it was still over. I felt like I shouldn't do it. I want to keep flying firmly centered on my feeling that I like jumping. I want to do something that will benefit the jumping competition in the future. I will continue to do so. " I revealed it.
For the new season, he said, "I want to perform so that many people can feel something while flying the jump."
On top of that, he said about the next Olympics, "I can't think of it yet, but I feel that the failure of the Olympics can only be digested by the Olympics. I want to make a jump that will benefit the Japanese team."
Takanashi is scheduled to participate in the summer jump tournament to be held in Yamagata Prefecture on August 20th.
