On August 10th, Yuzuru Hanyu (27), who turned professional having won two Olympics back to back at Sochi in 2014 and Pyeongchang in 2018 for Men’s figure skating, and turned to pro held an open practice called โSharePracticeโ at Ice Rink Sendai in Sendai City.

There was a live stream to share the practice session on his official YouTube channel, โHANYU YUZURUโ. The second chapter of his skating life has started.

Well, first of all, as I start to do the activities as a professional (athlete) from now on, I think there are scarce chances to show my practice sessions, or my challenge for the quad Axel.

However, there are people who want to watch my practices. In that situation, I thought it would be nice if I could create an opportunity for them to watch my athleticism, or should I say, my attitude of continuously pursuing things, which I fundamentally have in myself. Thatโs why I created this event of sharing my practice session.

Since it has been decided hastily, the programs that I can perform and the music that I can play were quite limited, I think. However, skating clean to SEIMEI with the same layout I did at the Olympics, I mean PyeongChang Olympics, was my goal this time.
And also I find myself having a strong resolution of wanting to prove that I am better than I was at that time. So today, I skated that program until the end.
ใโโ็ทด็ฟใงใSEIMEIใใ้ธใใ ็็ฑใฏใ
Q: Why did you choose โSEIMEIโ for this practice session?

Actually, people probably have a strong impression of the SEIMEI program that I skated at the PyeongChang Olympics. However, I could not skate it clean at that time, and although there were of course other parts that probably made up for it, I must admit that, given the conditions of my ankle and other things, I could hardly give a performance that I had wanted to do back then.
At that time, the probability of my being able to skate that program clean was not that high, so this time, what I wanted the most is to show that I have become better than myself at that time – that would be the strongest point.

Well, actually in my usual practices, I could do it 3 times consecutively. Of course, for example, I would omit some more transitions in between, but I do practice it 3 times in a row, so it was a little closer to what you can see at my usual practice. Well, in fact, I can skate it clean 3 times (laugh). I think there was a part where I was spinning wheels since I was too excited.

Thank you. Well, frankly speaking, regarding the live streaming, I do not use my own music pieces, one thing is that it costs a lot. However, this time, I also wanted to allow everyone to watch for free, so I shared it for free.

In fact, when I think about applying (for the rights to use) the music pieces that I want to use and various other things as well, I think it might cost a much more huge amount of money, so Iโve been thinking a little about what I should do from now on, or how I can do the activities on my channel itself.

But I wanted people to know how Yuzuru Hanyu would basically practice, or, people might have a very brilliant image of figure skating. I want them to see that behind such an image, there is me who looks unrefined and is desperately struggling while practicing. I thought Iโd like people who have no interest in figure skating to watch it even a little, and this is the reason I shared my practice session.

Well, actually, I wondered which one I should jump, such as a 4Lo, 4Lo-3T, or 4Lo-3A and so on. But this time, my goal was to skate SEIMEI cleanly, so I thought Iโd choose somewhere around a 4Lo-3T.

In fact, Iโve been steadily practicing combination jumps with the (quad) Loop, and when I think about whether they have high enough success rate to be put into actual performances, or if I need to do such difficult things in the activities that Iโd like to do in future, (I think) I might not need to do them since they are not even beneficial in terms of scores, but I just wanted to show that I have a potential to this level.

Well, actually, I used to practice quadruple toe loop (in this rink) right behind me, over there, and fell a lot of times. And Iโm nostalgic remembering that I used to explain โit falls short of rotation since I do like this, then I fall this way.โ In fact, being able to practice here is something special. Of course, I no longer have the chance to practice together with various skaters now. Yet, I still have a special feeling for the fact that I do not have to leave this town and Iโm able to continuously brush up my skills by practicing at my home rink. While I want to keep growing here, Iโd also like to contribute to this city, and work hard to do many things to support my beloved hometown, even if only a little.

WellโฆI just came to think that finally Iโm standing at the starting line. Now, in front of everyone, for the first time as a professional (athlete), Iโm able to show my skating. Then among other things, I think that thereโs some meaning as well in the fact that I could skate SEIMEI clean at this very beginning. Of course, Sochi Olympics, PyeongChang Olympics, and Beijing Olympics, all of them are my irreplaceable memories, and have become my experiences as well. Exactly because they were there, now Iโm finally at the starting line, and can think that โIโll be able to become better and better from now onโ. So please let me ask for your continuing support.

Well, I usually practice at midnight. So my body did not move as I intended*, and that made me really regretful, but I will practice it more and more, and I absolutely want to show my landing of the 4A. I will continuously work hard for it, as if I bet my life on it. Please support me.
*T/N: According to Nikkan Sportsโ article (https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/202208100000580.html), this part would mean that โI could not land a 4A today during the day time since I usually practise it at midnight and my body did not move as I intended.โ

At this point, I think this place would be my primary training base. Nevertheless, if people would come here when Iโm actually practicing, that might cause trouble for the facility staff, so I beg everyone for your understanding and cooperation especially on that matter. I want to continue practicing here from now on, and above all, if possible, I think I want to do ice shows in Sendai or in Miyagi prefecture.

Thank you very much for always supporting me. In addition, regarding the Beijing Olympics, actually I could not land the 4A and could not get a medal either, but yet I saw that everyone kept cheering for me, and while hearing everyoneโs voice, honestly, I myself wanted to succeed more and more or wanted to get a result. From now on, I want to have an insatiable appetite for โresultsโ again, including the 4A. I also want to create more opportunities to show my performance in front of everyone, so Iโd appreciate it if you are looking forward to it. Thank you.

OK. Well, this place isโฆ I think probably a different company owned it, and before it was renewed, I started figure skating here. And still now, this is the base of my activities and I mostly practice here. With that in mind, I thought I want to show everyone my practice here. And above all, I love Sendai very much. Honestly, when I moved my practice base to Canada, I went there crying and feeling that I didnโt want to leave Sendai – I love Sendai to that level. So now that I can skate in Sendai, Iโm happy. Additionally, Iโm thinking of doing various things in Sendai, including my future activities. So Iโd like to continue on, together with the people of Sendai.

Honestly, after all, in Sendai, there is only one rink available all through the year. For figure skating, ice hockey, speed skating as well as short track, the practice environment can be said to be severe. I believe youโve been practicing under such hard conditions – I know well about it since Iโve been practicing here too – in such a harsh environment. Nevertheless, please keep your ambition of getting better and better. Iโm also continuously becoming better and better here. You also are skating on the same rink (as me) so Iโm sure you can be better. Please have hope, and work hard while envisioning the ideal image of yourselves. Thank you very much.
