Ryō Sugai (須貝 龍, Sugai Ryō; born 11 December 1991) is a Japanese freestyle skier who represented Japan at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Career

[edit]

Sugai represented Japan at the 2025 Snowboarding World Championships in the ski cross event.[1] Sugai crashed at the start, recovered his skis and eventually finished the course. Youri Duplessis Kergomard crossed the line in second, however, the jury ruled that Kergomard impeded Tobias Müller, and he received a yellow card. As a result, Sugai won the bronze medal.[2] This was Japan's first ever FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships medal in ski cross.[3]
