The entire team achieves offical records.
Having earned the right to compete in the qualifier, Haiji reports their progress to Coach Tazaki.
Though they still have many challenges to face before they make it through the qualifier, the expections of everyone around them continue to rise.
They even receive an interview request from a TV station. While the others are excited, Yuki alone seems unhappy.
Competitions are strange things,
and I don't just mean long-distance races.
المُنافسات أمر غريب، ولا أقصد سباقات
المسافات الطويلة فقط
Das betrifft nicht nur Langstreckenläufe.
Las competiciones son un mundo
aparte, y no solo las carreras.
Las competiciones son un mundo
aparte, y no solo las carreras.
La compète, c’est quelque chose,
Le sfide sono una cosa strana.
E non parlo solo delle corse sulle lunghe distanze.
Competições são coisas estranhas e não se
resumem a corridas de longas distâncias.
Абсолютно любые соревнования —
это настоящая загадка.
