Comment from OKAZAKI Haruka
“I am delighted to have won the race held recently in Yamaguchi. The warm support sent by so many of you, even from afar, gave me great strength — thank you very much. I have also been able to continue my domestic winning streak, and I feel I continue to grow with every race.
I am currently based in Spain for an overseas training camp, working to strengthen both my technique and my mental strength in a wonderful environment. I intend to make the most of everything I gain from this training and carry it forward into my next competition.
With the expectations of everyone at TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING in mind, I will give my very best on the world stage, and I would be grateful for your continued support.”
OKAZAKI’s next challenge will be at the 2026 ICF CANOE SLALOM WORLD CUP FINAL, to be held from 10–13 September 2026 in La Seu d’Urgell, Spain.
TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING will continue to support OKAZAKI as she takes on new challenges on the world stage.
