It was a day that we can remember vividly, an optimistic Saturday that swiftly became one of the worst we could remember. Saya Sakakibara candidly shares her experience of the Accident her heroic brother, Kai Sakakibara, survived and talks to Riana Crehan about the strength of her family unit as well as the bigger picture.We are so proud of Kai, his optimism, his drive and incredible support of Saya through this important time in her life.

For the final part of our interview series, Saya shared her build up experience to this very different Olympic cycle. The normal process has been thrown out the window and it’s all just about preparation. She reflects deeply on some amazing people who have helped her journey and gives some thanks she just has to pass on. No surprises here, family, friends, fans, coaches and sponsors who have all backed her and never shaken in their beliefs.
Today is her flight to Tokyo and we wish Saya the very best for what’s to come. Our view is, she’s worked as hard as she can, prepared herself exceptionally and been as disciplined as you can be. So from this point forward she’s given herself the best chance and what will be, will be. Bring it on!
