My personal trainer tells me that if I can’t assume the squat position, I won’t be able to ski well. So I’m copying the ski jumping event. It’s brutal. My left thigh is all tender. Congratulations Kobayashi on winning the gold medal.

今日、スクワットの体勢が出来ないとスキーが滑れないよとPTさんに言われたので、スキージャンプの真似をしております。なかなかキツい。左太ももがプルプルしてくる😭
小林陵侑選手、金メダルおめでとうございます🥇

Kobayashi Ryoyu, and to all the national representative athletes, following the success of the bronze medal-winning men's mogul Ikuma Horishima and the athletes who have already competed. This is the first gold medal in the men's ski/jump in 24 years since the Nagano Olympics.

小林陵侑選手、そして日本選手団の皆さんへ。
銅メダルを獲得した男子モーグルの堀島行真選手や既に競技に挑んでいる選手の皆様の活躍に続き、日本選手団第一号となる金メダル獲得、おめでとうございます。男子のスキー／ジャンプでの金メダルは、長野オリンピック以来、24年ぶりという快挙です。

Kobayashi Ryoyu gold medal. Wonderful. It seems like he’s taking deep breaths just before the start and the run. I also take deep breaths when I’m feeling nervous. It’s really important I guess.

小林選手金メダル😳🥇
すごい👏
スタート前と走り出す瞬間に深呼吸しているように見えたような…
俺も緊張した時にいつも深呼吸するようにしてるからやっぱ大事よね😯 https://t.co/328zydwsH9
