Having been involved with press conferences at the Japan Press Club for about eight years, primarily related to sports, I have never seen a more perfect speaker. Hanyu picked up every question, no matter how mixed they were, and answered with such composure and wit, making each response shine like a gem. All the reporters and OBs in the room nodded in unison to every word he said. His ice performances, which draw the audience into his world, were reflected perfectly in his speaking.'

It's worth the same as a gold medal," says Reinforcement Training Director Takeuchi On the 19th, Yosuke Takeuchi, the figure skating reinforcement director for the Japan Skating Federation, spoke to the media at the Capital Gymnasium after all events of the Beijing Olympics had concluded, summarizing the Games. Before the Games, the goal for figure skating had been to win multiple medals, including gold, and secure four top finishes. The figure skating team ended up winning a record four medals. Takeuchi assessed the results, saying, "Although we missed out on a gold medal, we were able to win the first medal in the team event since the Sochi Olympics. We earned a total of four medals, which is the most in history. And there were seven top finishes, including today's pairs event and the medalists." In the team event, Japan won the bronze medal, while in men's singles, Yuma Kagiyama earned silver, Shoma Uno took bronze, and in women's singles, Kaori Sakamoto secured a bronze medal. Takeuchi also mentioned Yuzuru Hanyu, who became the first person in the world to successfully land a quadruple axel (4.5-turn jump), finishing in 4th place. He said, "At the Olympics, Hanyu took on the unprecedented challenge of the quadruple axel and showed a performance that made history in the skating world. It's a memorable result that is as worthy of a gold medal as any other." Since the 2006 Turin Olympics, figure skating has seen medalists in five consecutive Games. "Looking ahead to Milan, we want to continue earning medals and prepare for the next four years," he added.
