A Comment from Haruna Kagiya
This was my first international competition, and although I was very nervous, I was able to enjoy the race.
However, I was very disappointed that I couldn't make it to the podium.
This experience made me realize once again how tough competition can be.
The international stage was full of new experiences for me, and while it was a bit overwhelming, I feel I gained a lot from it.
I hope to apply what I learned from this competition to my future training and races.
