Tezuka admits that she enjoys filming video parts more enjoyable than participating in contests.
“Competition is kind of stressful for me”, Mami said. But added that she does enjoy seeing everyone at contests.
“Filming part is more fun for me…it doesn’t to be hard, tricky trick, but you can see the style and progress of the skating”, explained Mami.
I want to inspire girl skaters and young people. Do what you love and then don’t be afraid to be yourself.
