CHOOSING ATHLETICS
After graduating high school, she decided to focus on her sporting career instead of going to university. "I was initially considering going to university first, before entering a business athletics team. However I didn't want to study, but to run, so I realised that it would be meaningless to go to university." (tjokayama.jp, 08 Mar 2019)
