Nishi, Nobuyuki

Nobuyuki Nisi took part in the Mogul competition for the first time under the auspices of the International Ski Federation in December 2003 at the World Cup in Finnish Hand . In its debut start, the Japanese mogulist overcame the qualifications and took the final 11th place. In the 2003/04 season, Nishi became the world youth champion, and also regularly played in the World Cup, but took places outside the top thirty. He showed the same results the next year, and in the 2005/06 Olympic season the Japanese performed even less successfully, dropped out of the main team and missed the Olympics in Turin .

In the post-Olympic season, the Japanese returned to the main team and won his first and only 2017 podium at the World Cup stage in the Norwegian Voss , becoming the second in the single mogul there, losing a little more than half a point to the current Olympic champion Australian Begg-Smith . This season was the most successful in the career of the Japanese - he was among the twenty best mogulistov and among the 50 strongest freestylers according to the results of the season. In 2007, he started for the first time at the World Cup and twice took the 20th place in Madonna di Campiglio . In the same year he won two bronze medals at the Australian and New Zealand Open Championships.

In 2008, Nishi first became the champion of Japan in the parallel mogul and vice-champion in the single. A year later, at the home world championships in Inavashiro, he won a silver medal in a parallel mogul, losing in the final race to Canadian Bilodo . In the solitary mogul, he took fourth place, losing only the “bronze” position to 0.04 points. In the same year he became the absolute champion of the country.

At the Olympic Games, he first performed in 2010 in Vancouver . In qualifying, Nishi showed the 15th result, and in the final he became ninth despite the fact that he improved his own qualification result by more than a half points.

Nobuyuki won the second medal of the world championships in 2011 , becoming the third in the parallel mogul.

At the Olympics in Sochi, Nishi overcame the qualification on the second attempt, but already in the first final round he took 14th place and finished the fight, since only 12 of the best athletes went to the next round.
