Following the victory at the World Championships, Tsubaki has come in third, her highest position this year so far, at this World Cup event. She has been in good shape and constantly making good time during training since the World Championships ended. So, we think that this successful conditioning has eventually led her to the good result this time. We hope that she will also do her best in the next match.

We’d appreciate your continuous support for Tsubaki Miki.
