After winning the bronze medal, Shoma Uno of the Beijing Olympics, figure skating men's single, responded to interviews at the mix zone and press conference, and Nathan Chen of the United States who won the gold medal and Yuzuru Hanyu who challenged the quadruple and a half jump He talked about his thoughts on the players.
About winning medals for two consecutive tournaments-
"There have been so many things over the last four years, and I made a lot of mistakes in my acting today, but maybe I didn't realize it when I was doing it, and I was nervous, so I said,'You can do it again. I think I was acting in the same way even if I was told. I have the impression that I found a problem that will lead to the next, but rather than being disappointed, first of all, in the past four years, I think that I was doing the same thing properly. I am very happy to be able to participate in the Olympics and to finish in 3rd place. "
Did you embody the theme of "not afraid of failure"?
"I don't know if I was afraid of failure, but I think I was thinking about jumping instead of being nervous and focusing on how I jumped, so I think it's like a short. I didn't, but even if I failed in the second half, I think I was able to jump all the jumps with the intention of going to jump. "
The Olympics that have participated in two consecutive tournaments
"It was quick, but after this match, I really wanted to get better, and I felt a big difference from the winner Nathan. I don't know if I can fight next time, but I want to practice hard this season until the World Championships so that I can get as close as possible. "
Are you already looking to the next?
"For me, the stage of the Olympics is not the goal, but one of the special games in which there are various competitions, so one month later, there will be a world championship, so I will do my best toward that."
Growth on the stage of the Beijing Olympics
"I think it's a result of future practice, so I think how to practice future practice through the stage of this Olympics is whether it was a match that was able to grow."
Support around
"I think I am now supported by my family, trainers, federations, coaches, and everyone else. At the same time, there are various competitions as a matter of course. I'm allowed to participate in the tournament. Due to the influence of this corona, there aren't many tournaments that were taken for granted. Even in that one tournament, various people support me in places we don't know. I felt it again in the last few years. I really thank you for opening this tournament safely. "
What I got at the Beijing Olympics
"If I continue this composition and this practice for a few more years, I think it will be possible to raise the level even further and become a fighter in a position like Nathan, so I am doing it now. I also want to take on new challenges without being satisfied with that. "
About Hanyu who missed the third straight victory and was in 4th place-
"I think Japanese figure skating boys have been pulling the figure skating world all the time. I can't imitate those people's thoughts or pressure to compete. Really Yuzukun. I think that it can only be done by Japanese people, and as the level of technology goes up steadily, I think that the age of continuing figure skating is getting shorter, but among them, this many times. I think the existence of Yuzukun, who stays at the top all the time as the times change, is amazing, and I feel that the attitude of going to the top cannot be imitated. "
