Bond with Lambiel coach Uno "I want to live up to expectations"

Shoma Uno, a silver medalist at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

This season, with the Beijing Olympics coming up in February next year, we are motivated like never before, such as challenging the composition of jumping 5 quadruple jumps of 4 types, which is the highest difficulty for us in the past.

It was Stephane Lambiel, a silver medalist for the Torino Olympic men's singles who has been coaching since 2019, who ignited Uno's heart.

Coach Lambiel cast a word on Nathan Chen, young Yuma Kagiyama, and Yuzuru Hanyu, who finished fourth in the World Championship last season.

"What should you do to become the

best

skater in the world, what do you think you need?"

Uno, who was satisfied with the result of 4th place and his performance to some extent, skated again with this word. It is said that he thought deeply about the meaning of doing.

"I had a lot of experience and wanted to get away from skating, but I was able to enjoy skating again with Stefan. Skating is no longer a pain for me. Stefan's" I am the world I strongly felt that I wanted to be at the top of the list, and I want to live up to that expectation. ”

This season, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, I stayed in Japan instead of going to Switzerland as a practice base, so the guidance from coach Lambiel is on the Internet. I had to do it through.

Even so, at the NHK Trophy this time, the strength of the bond between the two can be seen from the appearance of Uno running up to the coach on the link side every time he jumps the task jump or confirms the step in the practice before the short program. bottom.

And while giving a high score close to his personal best for the interview after finishing the short program, the appearance that he was not satisfied with the current situation that "I should have tried more" is what Lambiel coach said "How to become the best in the world?" It made me feel that the flame of my heart, "Should I?", Is getting bigger among Uno.

5th place Yamamoto "Maximum performance and score that can be done now"

Sota Yamamoto said, "I was a little impatient in the last practice, and the teacher sent me a voice saying that I was relaxed where I hadn't noticed, so I was able to concentrate on my performance in the actual performance. It's the maximum performance and score I can do now. "

And, "I was able to make no mistakes in the short program, so I'd like to change my mind and show what I've been practicing from now on. I'm happy if I can slip comfortably to the end." I was refreshing my feelings.

8th place Miura "I've done what I can"

Kao Miura said, "I had the impression that I had done everything I could, so it was fun. It was a plus to experience the big stage, and on top of that, I was glad that I was able to firmly decide on the quadruple salchow." rice field.

For the free time on the 13th, "I think I'm not loose, but I'm loose, so I'd like to fix that. I'll do my best to improve my ranking. I want to do it. "
