Meet Daichi Shimizu from Kyocera in Japan. Daichi is an employee-athlete training to qualify for the Winter Olympics in 2026 in the alpine snowboarding category.
Alpine snowboarders can reach speeds up to 70 km/h during races, which is about as fast as a car! Just look at how fast Daichi gets to full speed in this video of his practice run!
