Masahiko Harada, Olympic ski jumping gold medalist and Japan's Beijing Olympic team general director, said that Sara Takanashi is bouncing back mentally after her controversial disqualification in the ski jumping mixed team event.
"She was energized after receiving encouragement from everyone on the team and everyone back home," said Harada, who won team gold when Japan hosted the 1998 Olympics.
Harada said the Ski Association of Japan, where he serves as director, is "doing its best to provide her with mental care."
