Comment from Head Coach TSUBA Kyohei
In this first competition of the season, we were able to win the all-around team championship for both men and women in all events. I think this is a very valuable victory for us to create a trend going forward.
I am also very glad that the individual winners and many other members of the club won the prizes. All the members of the club are determined not to break this trend in the future.
