OWNDAYS MEETS’s second guest is Yohei Shinomiya, a former professional rugby player who has continually taken on the challenge of playing in top leagues around the world. He spoke to us about his journey so far - in which he has poured all of his enthusiasm into rugby with a global focus while always aiming higher - as well as the path ahead. You announced your retirement at the end of last year. Firstly, we’d just like to say congratulations on having had such a remarkable career as a professional rugby player. Thank you. I wanted to remain active for as long as possible, and I viewed reaching the age of 35 as a turning point. Having suffered a knee injury I was training a lot to recover from an operation, but I decided to retire when I realized that I would not be able to play at 100% as I had hoped. After the operation, I used to run myself into the ground right here in this park with the aim of making a comeback.
