Hikari Izumi comment
I have been competing overseas for the past two months, and although the conditions were not perfect, I was relieved that I was able to secure my third consecutive victory in the speed category at the Japan Championship. This tournament was held in Ube City, Prefecture, and many people came to support us, and many people, including those who didn’t know about parkour or had never seen it live, were able to experience the appeal of parkour. I hope you got it. Thank you to everyone who watched, everyone who supported us, and everyone who always supports us. I will continue to do my best, so please support me! -Hikari Izumi Profile-
