Katayama’s victory comment
I was happy (to win the overall championship). I was relieved that the long series was over. Next season, while participating in the World Cup, I would like to compete in races in Europe and gain experience that will help me further down the line. I believe that I was able to win this title only because of the support of those around me. From now on, we look forward to your continual support.
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, we are all happy that this project, which is now in its 6th year, has produced such players who are active on the world stage. We will continue to support young athletes who aim to reach the world podium.
