Comment from Ms. Sonoda

For this event, I have been preparing through highland training in Corolado, U.S. in order to strengthen the muscular strength for walking improvement and increase endurance in order to overcome the challenges I felt at the JAAF Athletics Championships in April of this year.

I never forget the regret that I placed 9th at the last event in Oregon. I am aiming to win 8th place in this time and would like to return the favor to those who have supported me with the result.

I would appreciate you for your support and encouragement.
