Comment from Head Coach TSUBA Kyohei
This year's tournament was a competition between the next generation of athletes from various countries, and we are very pleased that NOBATA Misaki won the silver medal in such a competition. I also believe that we were able to prove that Japan is competitive against the world. Although MIURA Rio did not win a prize, she was able to grow so we look forward to her further success in the future.
