Comment from Rina Niijima<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had a lot of confidence in my board speed, so to be honest I feel I couldn\u2019t show everything I\u2019m capable of. I haven\u2019t had much training in strong-wind conditions like today, so I was happy just to make it to the finals. In the moderate winds over the previous days I could hold my own against the top riders, so it\u2019s frustrating that troubles and mistakes kept me out of the finals. Next time at this event, I want to be on the podium.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the event, wind conditions at Tsukuihama changed from light to strong from day to day, creating the perfect stage for the high-speed action that foil slalom is known for.
