Takehiro WATANABE
Aug 31, 2018·Nordic Combined
Japan's Takehiro Watanabe made his World Cup debut in Lahti in 2013 but had his first full World Cup season in the winter of 2015/16. A talented ski jumper, Watanabe's name can be found in the Top Ten after the jumping events frequently but with a ninth place in Trondheim, Norway, the by then 22-year-old proved that he can hold his own during a 10 kilometre race, too.
In his still young career, Watanabe can add a team bronze medal from the Junior World Championships in Liberec in 2013 and a team silver from the 2015 Universiade in Strbske Pleso to his merit list and also finished in the overall Top 30 in his full first season in 2015/16.
