Snowboarding, with many Japanese athletes competing, also offers plenty to look forward to. In addition to the outstanding performances of Japanese athletes in "Ski Jumping" and the Japanese Nordic Combined Championships, each sport will be broadcast/streamed in overwhelming volume.
This year is a special season, with the Beijing Winter Olympics taking place in February.
We look forward to the Olympic medal races and will definitely be watching the world's top athletes compete from the very beginning of the season.

The focus will be on Totsuka Yuto in the men's halfpipe, who won every competition he entered last season, including the World Championships, World Cup, and X Games. Also, Hirano Ayumu, the silver medalist in the men's halfpipe at the Pyeongchang Olympics, will be returning to the Japanese team after the Tokyo Olympics, so we can look forward to seeing the performances of the Japanese athletes, who have risen to an even higher level. The women's slopestyle also finished the season on a high note, with Iwabuchi Reira taking second place and Murase Kokoro third in the final competition of last season, and further progress is expected this season. We have high hopes for the performance of SNOW JAPAN, both men's and women's!

Freestyle Skiing Moguls FIS World Cup
2021 December 4th (Sat) FIS W-Cup Moguls
Luka/Finland match will be broadcast live!
The focus of attention in SNOW JAPAN's men's moguls is Horishima Yukimasa. Last season, he won the opening round, but then missed the podium and finished fourth overall. This season, he is looking to get revenge, and will be using his overwhelming speed, which he is known for, to add stability to his turns and airs, aiming to win the overall championship and reach the top of the Beijing Olympics. In the women's competition, the depth of the athletes is outstanding, with three names in the top 10: Kawamura Anri, who came in second overall last season, Tomitaka Hinako in seventh place, and Sumiyoshi Kisara in eighth place. With expectations pinned on Kawamura Anri to win the overall championship, it will be hard to take your eyes off her skating in every race!
All 13 races will be broadcast/streamed!
