Yamaguchi said to GYMmedia correspondents: "I thought myself that I'd enjoy my performances. I was nervous and felt pressure as the top of RG Japan .

Before Runa Yamaguchi became the 2011 champion of Rhythmic Gymnastics in Japan last year, she was under the strong pressure, so she missed the 2012 Olympic Games in London, also like the Olympics four years before in Beijing.
For Rhythmics in Japan, it's time now to step up to the future, same mean for Yamaguchi.
