Afterword

Speaking of which, I posted in the community a while back about the OWS tournament. I'm happy to share that I got 2nd place in the 'by age group' category for the teens (though there were only 2 of us lol), 3rd place overall for males (out of 89 people), and 3rd place overall for males and females (out of over a hundred people)! Medals were awarded based on the age group rankings (1st, 2nd, 3rd), so I received a silver medal for 2nd place. The quality and weight felt substantial, possibly even more so than the medals I usually get from swimming competitions! Next year, I'm planning to compete in an official tournament. If there are medals there too, I'll work hard to win one!! My dream is to compete in the Japan Championships!!!!
