https://the-ans.jp/news/479096/ From Jason Brown interview at NHK Trophy 2024: -- Yuzuru Hanyu and Shoma Uno, who competed in the tournament with you, have also retired from competitive skating, but what are your thoughts about them? "They are my teammates who I grew up with in the sport, so when I see them grow both within the sport and outside of it as professionals, I am impressed myself. I think they have become great ambassadors for the sport. I believe they inspire a lot of people, and training with Yuzuru, I have seen how he works harder every day than anyone else, so I have learned a lot from him." --What have you learned from both Hanyu and Uno? "The biggest thing I learned from Yuzuru is determination. I saw how hard he has practiced. He has an incredible determination not to leave the ice until he has achieved what he wants to achieve today. He approaches practice with that much passion and drive. I think that's amazing. In competitions he looks easy, and I thought, 'It's easy because it's him, he does it without any problems, without any mistakes,' but in fact, when I saw the incredible amount of practice behind it, I understood why he became such a star. Shoma is always calm. No matter how bad things are, whether it's practice or a competition, he approaches practice with an even head. He's positive, calm and collected. He's not shaken by anything, and I think that his spirit is amazing."

If you ask me what “technique” is, I would say it is both the mind and the body. From "Yuzuru Hanyu Photo Book Gi" (Special Edition by AERA) [This is the Best of the Best] Hanyu Yuzuru x Ninagawa Mika Permanent Edition Photo Book "Tai" The first session between the two took place in 2018, when Hanyu was 23 years old. Since then, we look back on the four photoshoots that have taken place up until this summer.

He worked hard to maintain and even increase his lean body mass. Similar to the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, where the men's events were scheduled in the morning, Hanyu was required to wake up around 4 a.m., and Kurihara carefully coordinated the schedule with him.

But I’m happy now even though I wasn’t rewarded." Such was the famous quote that emerged from Hanyu at the Beijing Olympics. He ended up in 4th place. He was struck by bad luck when his quadruple Salchow was blocked by a hole in the ice. Although he missed out on a medal in his third consecutive Olympics with a surprising 8th place finish in the short program, his challenge to focus all his energy on the men’s free skate on February 10, 2022, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, remains a vivid moment. The world’s first certified "4A" (quadruple Axel) was etched into Olympic history.

In the 2014 Sochi Olympics, he became the first Asian male skater to win gold. At the PyeongChang Games in 2018, he became the first man in 66 years to win consecutive gold medals. In Beijing in 2022, he made Olympic history by becoming the first to be certified with a quadruple axel. Alongside him, providing support, were Kurihara Hidefumi and the team from Ajinomoto's Victory Project (VP).

He recently had a conversation with Kurihara Hidefumi (48), team leader of the "Victory Project (VP)" by Ajinomoto, which supports the Japanese Olympic team. In the interview, Hanyu looks back at his journey to attempt the unprecedented quadruple Axel (4.5-turn jump), leading to a world’s first certified "4A." With the pre-season for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics now underway, the insights gained by supporting Hanyu’s two Olympic golds will continue to shine brightly for the next generation of Japanese athletes.
