Interview

Q : Do you have any interesting habits that pop up both in competition and in everyday life?

Actually, yes. In competitions, I tend to whistle when I want to create a certain mid-air posture, and all the other competitors recognize that. So when I whistle to call to a friend out on the city streets, only trampoline people react, which makes it easier to find each other.
Q : Is there a sport other than your own that you would like to try?

Judo. I’m not good at sports other than trampoline, but I’ve always wanted to try judo.
