The long time leading Japanese rhythmic gymnastics "No. 1", Ai Yokochi from AEON retiered last year, so the third placed  Riko Kanakubo said:
" This year was very for us., because our main teammate retired last year. We tried to do our best, but some mistakes happend. I feel seriously that most important thing is to be perfectly with all the four aparatuses." 
Kanakobo's performances are growing up better year by year.

All-around winner  Mai Hidaka said with a smile: "I'm sure she must be top and she leads Japan rhythmic gymnastic from this year on. I enjoy my performances. Not perfectly ,but I felt so good ,between audience and me, I felt unity."
