TOMITAKA
Hinako
Born in Tokyo, he met moguls in the first grade of elementary school and started competing in earnest in the fourth grade. He finished second in the junior championships. At the 2021 World Championships, she was the only Japanese women's team to finish fifth. She's small but big-looking and has a reputation for consistent, high-quality turns. She has been steadily improving her grades, and expectations are high for her strength in the competition.

Sliding in overseas training. The sense of stability in turns is outstanding even at high speed.
■ Comment on the “online press conference to decide representatives” just before the Beijing Olympics
With the Beijing Olympics just around the corner, an online press conference was held by the All Japan Ski Federation to decide who will represent Japan. Let's extract and deliver the comment video of Hinako Tomitaka. "Q" is a question by a media reporter.
January 23 (Sun) 19: 00-19: 30 Representative decision online press conference
Q.
Candidly how do you feel now? ― I haven't really felt that much yet, but frankly, the biggest feeling is that I'm happy.
Q.
What was your impression of the Olympics? child, I've always admired watching the Olympics on TV, so I'm really happy that I'm on the stage.
Q.
Over the past 4 years, if there is anything in which you have grown the most, There was a part where I couldn't attack when I was in a pinch, but now I think that I've grown the most by being able to attack and skate.
Q.
Do you mean the accuracy to decide a bigger move? ― I think I've become able to skate aggressively in terms of speed and turns, as well as the difficulty of the air.
Q.
If there is anything that is most important for you to be able to rank high on the Olympic stage, please let me know. I think that if I can perform the best I can at the Olympic stage, the ranking will naturally follow. I'm here.
Q.
Please tell us about your specific goals and enthusiasm - It's my first Olympics, but I hope to be able to enjoy myself to the fullest and skate the best I can at the moment.
Q.
Please tell us what kind of influence the current Japanese team has on you, Mr. Tomioka . , I'm happy, and I get a good stimulation from it, and I think I'll do my best. I think it's a really good team that can improve each other.
Q.
Looking back at this season's World Cup, what areas did you feel good about, and what areas would you like to focus on improving for the Olympics? - In this season's World Cup, there were many things that didn't go well with the first air and after that, and that was a bit frustrating for me. I'm here. After all, the first air flies well, and I'm doing cork with the first air, but it flies well. Right now, there were a few times when I couldn't get it in right before the 1st air and it flew as it was, so I thought if I could get on the board and jump through it, the processing after the 1st air would naturally go well. I am thinking.
