[Highlight]
Miura and Kihara, who formed a pair in 2019, are on a lift or jump that says "certainty has increased". In addition, he has made an outstanding appearance with his refined acting ability, and has achieved results on the international stage, such as finishing second on the podium for the first time as a pair of Japanese players at the Grand Prix series last October and the American tournament.
In this tournament, he also participated in groups, and all of them updated their personal bests and contributed to winning the bronze medal in Japan by finishing 4th in the short program and 2nd in the free program.
Following the group, we will show a breathtaking performance in the individual competition and pay attention to whether we can advance to the free in the second half at the top.
