<Comment from Nishizaki>
Thank you for your support.
There was a point of reflection that I failed in the first attempt, but I will challenge my personal best of 140 kg in the fourth attempt, and in the overall match, I will find problems and solutions for the World Cup* that will be held after March. is ready.
For athletes, the result of winning is of course important, but I believe that there are lessons to be learned by taking on challenges without fear of failure. The company has an environment where we can train safely and securely even during this corona crisis, so I would like to make use of what I have learned and improve my accuracy to take on the World Cup.

In addition, since the match was held without spectators this time, more than 60 people from inside and outside the company participated in the remote support event planned by the company and cheered us on. thank you very much.
