It turns out that figure skater Shingo Honda and Detective Tanaka were injured in a car accident in Kelowna, western Canada, where they were staying to participate in the international competition. Both people are not seriously injured, but will participate in the competition as scheduled.
According to Yoshiko Kobayashi's figure strengthening director of the Japan Skating Federation, Honda and Tanaka, who are scheduled to participate in the Grand Prix Series Canada tournament, have finished practicing at the competition venue in Kelowna on the 22nd, after 6pm. When I returned to the previous hotel, the taxi I was riding collided with the car in front of me and collided from behind.
Honda said that he was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance and inspected and was diagnosed as a bruise of the right shin. As a result of discussions with coaches, he said that he would participate in the tournament from 25th as scheduled. That is.
Honda appeared in the official practice on the 24th with taping on the right shin part, and during practice he showed occasional attention to his feet, but repeated jumps and steps, etc. We were proceeding with adjustments.
Honda responded to the interview after the practice and said, “I have an influence, but I decided to do my best so that I could recover even a little because I decided to participate in the game.”
Tanaka, on the other hand, was not going to the hospital after the accident and was not injured, so in the official practice on the 24th, he repeated four-turn jump practice.
Tanaka said, "I felt a little uncomfortable right after the accident, but I don't have a big injury, so I would like to come to the game without thinking too much."
