J-Arena S2018E25 - Sailing

In 2018 Japanese sailors competing in the 470 class made great progress with a number of international wins. Hopes are high that Japan can grab a gold medal in the class at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. One of the favorite pairs for the men's team are Keiju Okada and Junpei Hokazono. Their familiarity with the erratic wind conditions at the Olympic venue in Enoshima gives them a solid home advantage. We also meet former Olympian Aiko Saito who plays a key role in raising Japan's youngest sailors.
