Nana Miyanaga, a skier who excels in both alpine and basic skiing, has achieved brilliant results in numerous competitions, and last season she won her first victory at the 62nd All Japan Ski Technical Championships. This time, STEEP is holding a special interview project. We are looking for skiers in the upper grades of elementary school, junior high school, high school, vocational school, and university to act as interviewers!
The interviews will be conducted online, and those selected will be invited to participate in the interview with the STEEP editorial team. The questions posed by the participants and the exchanges will be published as STEEP articles on the web at a later date and delivered to the ski and snowboard community nationwide. Why not take part in this opportunity to ask questions directly to your favorite top athletes?
