Ski jumper Ryoyu Kobayashi carries something big on his back.

What kind of world is it where only those who aim to be number one, and not the only one, can see what it is like? To get a glimpse of this world, we asked Ryoyu Kobayashi, a gold medal-winning ski jumper at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, to talk to us. His well-trained and smart body is clad in a new line of clothing from Dsquared2. We asked Kobayashi, who professes to "love clothes," about fashion and the ideals and realities of the sport of ski jumping.
