Have things changed for you since 1 September, the day the Olympic qualifying period has started?
Kai Sakakibara: Not at all. I’m always training and preparing for events to the best of my ability, so it’s been business as usual.
Are you looking for races where you can score more points?

Being in the top 10 in the UCI World Cup Ranking with 355 points, what's your goal for the last two rounds in SDE?
