Bio
Watching her father flying radio-controlled drones as a child, Sato wanted to get involved in the action! Observing the flight carefully before being handed the controls meant that she quickly gained a lot of skills. Starting on the race circuit, she has made some impressive rankings at home in Janape over the last couple of years, and with a sixth place at the FAI World Drone Racing Championships in 2024, she is ready to take on The World Games in 2025, spending all weekend at the controls, and training on the simulator between school studies.
This ambitious youngster says, "Drone racing is fun because you can see your time getting better and better, and you can feel how fast you've gotten by racing against other people."
Other activities
Sato is currently a high school student.

What are your hopes for the competition?
"I want to gain the sensations and experiences that can only be felt at a competition where people from all over the world gather, and use them in my future racing activities."
