Horishima "I want to make further corrections and decide on a clean run."
Ikuma Horishima, who advanced to the quarter-finals in the second qualifying round in 5th place, said, "When I jumped in the first air, the landing was swayed to the left, but after that I could not make a mistake and I was able to raise the score a little. I'm glad I did. "
He also said, "Since the first qualifying session was too jumpy, I was able to skate while controlling the speed for about 0.5 seconds this time. I would like to make further corrections and decide on a clean run." I was talking about enthusiasm.
Matsuda "It doesn't work and I'm sorry"
