The World Figure Skating Championships will be held in Canada from the 18th of this month, and Uno, who is competing for his third consecutive men's singles title, held a public practice session at a rink in Yokohama ahead of the tournament.
This season, Uno has further refined his unique expressiveness in areas such as skating and choreography, but he is also focusing on improving the accuracy of his jumps as he seeks results in the second half of the season.
On this day, most of the practice was focused on jumping, and in addition to carefully checking the quadruple toe loop and triple axel, which are the key points, they also repeatedly worked on quadruple loops and quadruple flips, which are the key to high scores.
Uno showed his high level of motivation for the competition, as he watched the video, found areas to correct, and continued jumping until he was satisfied.
In the quest for a third consecutive victory, strong rivals include Ilya Malinin, a 19-year-old American who won this season's Grand Prix Final with his signature quadruple jumps, including the quadruple axel.
Uno said, ``Marinin's level is outstanding, but I have no choice but to take on the challenge and persevere.I want to perform to the best of my ability and have no regrets.For the sake of those who support me, and for myself. I hope we can play the best match possible," he said with enthusiasm.
