2025.06.17 Source: Source: Ice Jewels vol. 20, pg 42-51 Special Interview - The Never-Ending Challenge Towards the Ideal Yuzuru Hanyu From appearing in the music video for Kenshi Yonezu’s “BOW AND ARROW” (opening theme for the TV anime Medalist), to performing in ICE STORY 3rd: Echoes of Life, and collaborating with Mansai Nomura in notte stellata—we asked him to reflect on these recent representative works. He spoke about how he approaches his performances: his mindset, philosophies, artistic principles, and what he’s currently striving for as a professional figure skater. He also offered technical commentary on his own skating. Interview by: Hitomi Hasegawa Photography: N. Tanaka Source: Ice Jewels vol. 20, pg 52 Yuzuru Hanyu On-Ice Practice Report- "If I can land the quadruple Axel, I can land the other quads more too." On the day of the interview featured in this issue (p.42–p.51), I had the rare opportunity to observe professional figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu’s on-ice practice. On that day, he began with about 50 minutes of on-ice training, followed by roughly 30 minutes of off-ice training, then returned to the rink to do a full run-through of “Ten to Chi to,” and wrapped up his practice. Afterwards, he carefully explained each segment of his training, including the reasons and objectives behind them. His sincere attitude toward skating, always setting his own goals and working toward them, was clearly visible throughout the practice. Report: Hitomi Hasegawa Photography: N. Tanaka

Even Takahiko Kozuka took six years to reach the podium at the Japan Junior Championships, and Nobunari Oda once failed to make it past the short program at that same event. Even so, what about Yuzuru Hanyu? In just his second year after moving up early from the novice ranks, he placed third at the Japan Junior Championships. In the free skate alone, he actually outscored his senior rivals to take first place! That summer, he even landed a triple Axel (3A), showing a shockingly early level of maturity.

After retiring from competition in 2006, he graduated from Columbia University and New York University’s graduate school, and now works at Google. We spoke to him in an exclusive interview about Yuzuru Hanyu's challenge to the quadruple Axel at the Beijing Olympics, and his message to the skaters who will lead the figure skating world in the future.

Former world champion's "loss to Yuzuru Hanyu" - Exclusive confession Yuzuru Hanyu is attempting the feat of winning three consecutive Olympic gold medals. One of the people who knows his growth best is Patrick Chan, who lost to Hanyu at the Sochi Olympics and won the silver medal. For Chan, who came to the Sochi Olympics after winning the World Championships three times in a row, Hanyu was a symbol of a new era of skaters who were rapidly emerging. We have published a special article online in which Chan reveals his thoughts after the tournament, which ended in a disappointing silver medal, and the realizations and emotions he felt on the stage in Pyeongchang four years later. (First published in Sports Graphic Number, Issue 977 (May 16, 2019), all titles etc. are from that time.)

Behind his achievement was a major challenge: he was unable to step onto the ice for two months due to rehabilitation and treatment due to an injury to his right ankle. After that, he made a miraculous recovery and his beautiful performance moved the world. Hanyu's life as an athlete has been a series of major challenges, including injuries and illnesses, and the overcoming of these challenges. In this interview, we will explore Hanyu's "adversity" and how he has overcome it and turned it into strength.
