Yuzuru Hanyu, who participated in the men's single skating at the Beijing Olympics, practiced at the practice link adjacent to the match venue, playing quadruple jumps and splendid songs of various programs played in the past. We showed off the steps and so on.
Hanyu, who was fourth in the men's single at the Beijing Olympics, practiced for about 40 minutes at the practice link adjacent to the competition venue after 3:00 pm local time on the 18th.
Hanyu, who wore black top and bottom clothing, began to slide slowly to check the feel of the ice, and then immediately played songs one after another to play the past program.
In line with the short programs "Ballade No. 1" and "Romeo and Juliet" when he won the tournament for the second time in a row at the Pyeongchang tournament, he decided to make a quadruple jump and took steps.
At the end, when the finish was brilliantly decided with the song "SEIMEI" used for free at the Pyeongchang tournament, big applause came from the people concerned and the volunteers who were present.
Hanyu plans to make adjustments on the 19th for the exhibition by the athletes who will participate in the Olympic Games on the 20th.
"I'm trying to do all the lost things in my skating life"
Hanyu, who responded to the interview after the practice, said that he played the songs of the past program, "I was thinking that it was" Ballade No. 1 "or" SEIMEI ", but I wanted to do more things in the meantime. I thought. The reason for the song I chose was that I wanted to do everything that I had lost in my skating life. "
And, "At the end, I was definitely thinking of doing'SEIMEI'. It was like that when I was in Pyeongchang, or something like this. I will never forget that moment. I think I will never forget that. However, I'm glad I was able to show my best steps today. I skated with my heart. I may be self-satisfied, but I think I was able to do it myself. I was talking with a smile.
In addition, Hanyu looked up and seemed to be practicing while talking about something, but when asked what he felt, he said, "I didn't mean it, but I was looking for something lost. I think there was something like this, or something like that. I might have been muttering something while thinking that I was really happy now. "
