I asked Yuki a question.

T: Are you aware of the Olympics?

K: After all, I want to win a medal because I'm out, and I want to make a slip that will leave an impression on everyone in Japan.
I want to entertain the viewer.
It's not just a trick, it's impressed to see it slipping
I want to do something that makes me happy.

I've been in the snow industry for a long time, and I was confused for a moment that what Tomoki was saying was abstract.
Because, how on earth are amateurs, even those who make snowboarding normal?
Is it possible to distinguish the difficulty level and scoring method of techniques that cannot be understood at first glance?

However, it may not be there in the first place that impresses the general public.
For example, let's say that the first performance is overwhelmingly disadvantageous and the score is overwhelming.

However, it reverses from there and the highest score!
If anything happens, that's all, even if you don't know the details
It can be fun, smile, and impressed.

I interpreted that as something that Tomoki wanted to express.

T: It's said that the image when it's made is important, but are you aware of that?

K: Yes, I think it's important to have a good image.
When you drop (when entering the course from the start gate), everything is done.

Actually, I have an image that I'm on the podium of the Sochi Olympics.
Congratulations on the medal from the TV station after that!
I also have the image of being interviewed.

And, "What are your feelings now?"
There are some words that I would say (bitter smile).

T: What kind of word is it?

K: "No, I don't really understand!" (Laughs)

T: Haha (laughs) Where I was interviewed after winning a medal, and on the stand
If you can comment on the answer, I'll definitely go there.
The podium is certain ♬

K: Yes, I think so (laughs)

Where is the guy who sets the goal of not being able to do it from the beginning?

In the words of Tomoki who says such a thing firmly,
He himself, who has overcome the hardships, anxieties, and pains so far, is backed up by his efforts.
It was transmitted.


T: What is the change in your feelings toward the Olympics?

I don't feel impatient or anxious now.Anyway, I want to go to the Sochi Olympics and express it
I want to try it, it's for myself, but I want to express that it's more beneficial to people.

Already in 2011 I was able to see a glimpse of his style and air height.

T: What are your plans for the future?

K: After this, we camp in Keystone (Colorado), USA, and in December, we will do Air and Style in China (Beijing).
After that, I returned to the United States and Aspen at Copper Mountain, or X-Game.
And the schedule is the Sochi Olympics.

T: That player will come out too

K: Shaun White, right?
Of course Mark Morriss, Torstein and others will also participate, but I can do it ~,
I don't think Shaun White will lose if it's a jump.
But it's a Slope Stye game, so I can't tell until I try it (bitter smile)

------------------

90 days until the Sochi Olympics.
