Shinrin Honda (19 = JAL) advanced the piece to the Japan Championship (Nagano) in December. He passed the qualifying round with a total of 144.11 points, 93.70 points.

The short program (SP) of the 6th of the previous day was the 8th with 50.41 points. He wasn’t convinced, “Skating is hard. If you can’t compete in Japan, what are you skating for? I was so depressed. I kept crying yesterday.”

Free after sunrise. At last month’s Tokyo Championships, there was an error submitting the song used, but “La La Land”, which has continued since last season, flows safely and begins dancing in a bright blue suit. The first three-round flip landed, and the next three-round flip also landed on both feet. Any other failure will lead directly to whether all of Japan can participate or not.

“I was scared. When I made two mistakes for the first time, I was determined to go all of Japan or not by a small margin.”

After that, I will put it together safely. If you go for a 3-turn sarco, you will succeed in a continuous jump with a 3-turn toe loop-2-turn toe loop, a 3-turn loop-2-turn toe loop, a 3-turn finger-1 turn oiler-2 turns sarco In the end, he finished with double throttle (two and a half revolutions), and with seven people left, he was provisionally third. After getting the right to participate in all of Japan, he smiled, “I was really relieved.”

Participate in the Grand Prix (GP) series every year. “It’s been a while since I got out of qualifying, and it’s been a while since I’ve thought about how many I could pass. I didn’t like that. Nozomi (my sister’s) said she wanted to participate in all of Japan together. He gave it to me. I had to get it out myself. But I didn’t like being aware of the border. “

After getting through this season, he advanced to the Japan stage where his brother Taichi (22 = Sekidai) awaits the final season for the sixth consecutive year. “Across Japan, I want to beat my brother’s score.” I got my true smile back.[Atsushi Kinoshita]
