Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara will be absent from the All Japan Figure Skating Championships starting on the 22nd in Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture.

According to the Japan Skating Federation, the reason was that the flight from Canada, the base, was significantly delayed due to flight delays, and there was a lost baggage.



The two were making great strides this month, becoming the first Japanese pair to win the Grand Prix Final, and were scheduled to participate in the All Japan Championships for the first time in three years.

Both athletes posted a scene at the airport in Canada on SNS the day before

On the morning of the 21st Japan time, Miura and Kihara posted a picture of the airport in Canada on SNS.

Among them, the two said, "I won't be in time for the opening ceremony, but I'm heading to Osaka in time for the day of the tournament."
