Ishikawa constantly achieved good results in some of the big |
|
| competitions
in Japan last year. She is currently living a hectic life as |
| a
third- year university student, but she has managed to keep her |
|
| time
for training and come to JWOC 2001 to make her first challenge |
|
| at an international
competition. |

Tajima is a sociology student and an orienteer who has made |
| steady
and considerable progress since last season. She
loves every |
| aspect
of orienteering, e.g. navigation, running in the forests, and |
| enjoying
nature. She hopes to enjoy with orienteering as a lifelong |
| sport. Her
other hobby is Shodo (Japanese calligraphy), which |
| makes her

the thrilling moments of finding controls at the very spot she |
| imagined
and hopes to fully enjoy the races in JWOC, where she will |
| experience

Asai was not an outstanding orienteer last year. Recently, |
|
| however,
she has been rapidly taking in and improving her |
|
| orienteering
ability, and successfully got a chance to join in JWOC |
|
| 2001.
She sometimes makes an extremely funny remark and makes |
| others burst
into laugh. |

Sakurai is a second-year student studying children’s psychology. |
|
| She
enjoys orienteering especially because of a range of possibilities of |
|
| route
choice. She is very fond
of playing Japanese traditional game |
|
| ‘Kingyo-sukui’
(ask her for details). She
is skilled at Japanese fencing |
| ‘Kendo’(ask
her to demonstrate it), too. |

Yamada is the youngest member of this year’s Japan Team |
|
| who
has won the Japan Inter-High School Championship twice in a |
|
| row.
Though this is his first challenge at an international level, he |
|
| has
already firmly set his sights on some of the world events in next |
| 3-4
years, including WOC 2005 (in Japan) and JWOC 2004 (he’ll be |
|
| still 20
at that year !). |

Kitajima is a student studying environment and |
|
| landscape
design. He has been longing to join in an international |
|
| orienteering
game, being very much influenced by his senior, who |
|
| introduced
orienteering to him for the first time. His motto in |
|
| orienteering
is ‘to have a challenging spirit all the time and to keep |
| on going
ahead’. |

Kuno is a student who is going to major in mathematics. |
|
| While
this is the first overseas travel for him, he will continue his |
|
| ‘O-trip’
for one month after JWOC to Fin-5 and O-ringen. His
O |
|
| style
is ‘quick decision and quick move’, though ‘this is not true in |
| my daily
life’, he said. |

Goto is a university student studying chemistry. He likes |
| orienteering
because the result obtained from it is directly |
|
| proportional
to the effort he puts in. Actually, he has made |
|
| considerable
efforts and preparation for JWOC. He
also loves |
|
| football,
which he could keep talking about all day. In
JWOC, he |
|
| hopes to
make lots of friends. |

| Hisashi
Osaka has 7-years experience as an orienteer. While he |
|
| feels
he has not yet exhausted all the attractions of orienteering, |
|
| ‘every
time I go out for orienteering, I discover something more |
|
| about
myself through it’ he said. Although his life is quite busy |
|
| being
occupied with study, his part-time job and training, he finds |
|
| some
time to relax when listening to music ( Jef Beck, David Bowie, |
| etc. are
his favourites). |
