After winning the silver medal at the Beijing Olympics, figure skating, and men's singles, Yuma Kagiyama responded to interviews at the mixed zone and press conference, and talked about his father's feelings for coach Masakazu and his enthusiasm for the future.

Winning a silver medal at the first Olympics

"I think it's a silver medal that is packed with all the efforts I've dreamed of over the years since I started skating, so I'm glad I felt a lot of growth. I made some small mistakes when it came to acting. However, I was able to draw out 100% of myself, so I think that is one growth. "

Free acting

"I was able to enjoy the short program very much, but I was nervous when I thought that free would be decided by this performance. There was a part where I was more nervous and stiff than before. I don't want to leave any regrets, so I think I was able to bring out 100% of my performance. "

To Masakazu, my father who has been aiming for the Olympics together as a coach

"I got the word" Congratulations "after the performance. I've been working hard together for several years aiming for the Olympics, and I've spent both happy and painful things together, so I got over it and performed my own way. I'm really glad that I was able to do it, and I'm really glad that I was able to show myself as I grew up. On top of that, I think that being able to achieve the result of a silver medal was a filial piety for me. And I want to continue to do my best together. "

This tournament

"The Olympics are a dream stage for me, and for the past few years, there have been sadness and pain, and I think that all of them are connected to me and I am growing up, so this Olympics So, I'm glad that I could feel the growth firmly. When I went to the Youth Olympics two years ago, I never thought I would be on this stage two years later, and this stage. I'm really surprised at what I've done, so I think it was a good experience. "

I was able to fight with Uno and Hanyu on the stage of the Olympics.

"I didn't have to think about anything because it was my first time, but it's really amazing that Hanyu and Uno were carrying various things on their backs and fighting against the heavy pressure at the second and third Olympics. I think. I also enjoyed the wonderfulness of team competitions and the wonderfulness of cooperating as a team. "

From now on

"It's true that Nathan Chen, who won the championship this time, can get closer to an all-rounder, but I want to be a player who is evaluated for various aspects such as acting and steps like Hanyu and Uno."
