Athlete Comment
I have met many people, both in Japan and abroad, and received a lot of support during my more than 20 years of competition. From now on, I would like to do my best to support children who are challenging themselves to achieve their dreams, so that I can pass on the experience and knowledge I have gained through these experiences to them. In my own way, as Hitomi Shimura, I would like to cherish the relationships I have made with you and work steadily on new activities. Thank you for your continued support.
