The second half of the men's and women's singles will be free on the 6th.

Kagiyama "Change your mind and do your best" for free in the second half

Yuma Kagiyama said, "I made a lot of terrible mistakes. The biggest problem was that I couldn't deal with the mistake of the quadruple Salchow because I panicked my head. I wanted to minimize the mistakes and made no mistakes. I was disappointed because I was aiming for it, "he recalled.



Also, in the second year of seniors, when asked if the second place in the world championship last season was under pressure, he said, "This season I am aiming for the number one challenger in this season, and I think about last year. I haven't done it. My goal this time was to act aggressively, but that went wrong. I think the challenge is that I couldn't control my feelings and was in a hurry. " ..



For the second half of the free time, he said, "I have nothing to think about, so I just have to take the plunge. I want to change my mind and do my best."
