It has been four years since he won the gold medal at the Sochi Olympics at age 19. The path he has walked as an Olympic champion has been filled with far more hardship than one might imagine. Behind the glory, he hit walls time and again and faced moments where the pressure nearly crushed him. As he reflects on his journey, tears naturally well up in his eyes. Despite the struggles and inner conflicts, he still returned to the ice. What, then, is the driving force behind that choice? He also shares his dreams for life after PyeongChang.

By: Shinichi Yamaguchi Even after finishing work on the Preseason Issue released on August 23, I had overlapping assignments for several other magazines, and I wasn’t able to update this article for quite some time. A fellow journalist said to me, “I thought you had been detained in Toronto under suspicion of being a (Hanyu) stalker and a (text) terrorist.” But as if in sync with the start of the season, my time and energy for writing articles have returned. I’ll be updating more frequently from now on, so I hope you’ll stick with me.
