Her family owns a hotel near the ski slope in Japan and she has been working there as a the staff to raise money for training and touring around the world. She had to do that because freestyle skiing was not popular here and hard to find a sponsor.

Congratulations! Always nice to see the smile of an athlete who wins a medal, regardless of what kind. Good job, Ayana.

It's been noticeable that many of the athletes, even those who were the favourites to win gold, are thoroughly delighted to win a medal. Especially in the snowboard/ski events.
Really refreshing to see

Well done to Ayana! Nice to see she Is just as happy if not happier for the bronze than others for gold. I guess her goal was a medal which she got. Good on her!
