Tadashi Kondo, bronze medalist in 500m of 2015 World Masters Games, was unusually quite as fast as he did in a week ago in Canada, and finished 3^rdin his age group, taking the same color medal there .   None of foreign skaters joined this year, maybe because of outdoor rink.  But we are looking forward to having it in Nagano near future and expecting 200+ joining us.  Yes, indoor !!
