- Who are your role models in figure skating?

 

Definitely Yuzu. Even before I came to Cricket, I looked up to him. Watching him skate on TV at the 2018 Olympics, I remember hearing that he got injured and he wasn't able to train much beforehand and I feel like his fierceness and his commitment really showed. I feel that's such an inspiration for every one of us. I also love his jumps, they're textbook. And his determination – you can see it in his eyes when he performs. Even now when I train beside him I just have a great respect when I watch him train.

 

- Training with him and moving to the place where he trains, made you gain more respect for him?

 

Right, and motivation. When I see him land quads it gives me motivation and excitement – like, "Wow, that was nice, I can do that too!" It gives me hope, you know.

 

- If you could have the skills of any figure skater in the world, who would it be? Would it be Yuzu?

 

Definitely. But also Patrick Chan: before I knew Yuzu, when I was younger, I looked up to Patrick a lot. His skating skills – I would really love to be at that level of skating one day.

What is fascinated about Mr. Hanyu is not measured by rivals or points, but he impresses me by the growth of another level, how he evolves through the figure skating by overcoming difficulties and injuries. It ’s a life of a monk. I feel an attraction of another level.
