I am very satisfied to be back on the podium in my second competition since returning from injury.
Thanks to incorporating different training methods, such as building stamina and increasing muscle strength, I was able to compete in good condition.
I want to continue this momentum and aim for a full recovery.
Next time, I will beat Shoji!

It was a competition affected by the weather, and the finals were canceled due to rain. However, I was able to perform my run well in the preliminaries, which led to my victory in this Japan Cup, following the first event.
However, I have tricks I wanted to perform in the finals, so I aim to land those tricks and win at the next All Japan Championships.
Thank you all for your support!
