The Japan Championship, which will be the summary of 2020, was held from December 25 to 27 at the Big Hat in Nagano.
For the boys, Yuzuru Hanyu regained the championship for the first time in five years, and Masama Uno was second. Yuma Kagiyama, who made his senior debut, also made his mark with a bronze medal from second in the short. They were three days full of sad and joyful dramas: the conflict in the wreck of the crown, the dream of the Beijing Olympics and the retirement of this season.
For the boys, the two best players from Hanyu and Uno will be the first game of the season. Kagiyama, 17, was expected to bite there. And when I opened the lid, Hanyu’s beauty and strength was a masterpiece that energized all the players. Looking back, Hanyu’s adversity has been proven many times.
I kept practicing solitaire in my hometown Sendai
Hanyu returned from his base in Toronto after the World Championship was canceled last season and continued to practice alone in his hometown of Sendai. The two new shows were choreographed remotely, but I was in a situation where I would do the detailed choreography myself.
“I practiced alone every day without a coach. When I started to worry, I thought it would be easy to get into a negative spiral.”
There are no teammates to cheer each other on and no coaches to inspire.
“I was tired of fighting because I thought I wasn’t growing or couldn’t fight because of the All Japan and Grand Prix finals last season (second place). I thought, ‘I can always quit.’
Bad thoughts appear in the body.
“There was a time when I couldn’t even jump the triple throttle. The bottom time was quite long, until the end of October.”
“Is it okay to continue the competition by myself?”
It was the two programs that slipped between the exercises that inspired me to recover.
“When I did the programs (exhibition)” Spring, come “and” With love from Russia “(when I was 8-11 years old), I liked skating, it must be skating. I can’t express all my emotions, so I was wondering if I could continue the competition for myself. “
The adrenaline for the fights begins to appear, and the jumps recover one by one. In the middle of a trial, the registration deadline for November 24 has arrived.
