[ENG SUB] Yuzuru Hanyu – FS TV Japanese Nationals Interview Clip – 210307

Transcript

From an interview given 28 December 2020, first broadcast 7 March 2021.

なんかやっぱまだ実感がわかないですね、世界選手権。まぁ、一応会見でも代表会見みたいなことはありましたし、そこで語った言葉は何も偽りはないですし、実際に世界選手権代表という気持ちであそこにはいましたけれど、

Yes… the World Championships don’t really feel real yet. Well there was the World Championships representatives press conference and the things I said there were not at all false, and I attended that press conference feeling as if I am really a Worlds (team) representative.

やっぱり戦ったこと、この全日本で戦い抜いたこと、滑り抜いたことって言うのは一生消えない・・大切な記憶のひとつになったとは思います。

The fact I skated and fought through to the very end of the Japanese National Championships has become an important memory, something that won’t disappear.

ただ、これから僕らが世界選手権までまぁ、あると仮定して世界選手権までに闘わなきゃいけないのは間違いなくウイルスだったり、社会全体だと思っているので、

However, assuming the World Championships will still be happening, what we have to face until then is, without doubt, the coronavirus with society as a whole.

まずは健康であって、何よりも自分達がアスリートらしく過ごせるようにそんな世の中を早く見たいなって、過ごしたいなって思います

The first thing is to stay healthy and there’s nothing I’d like more than to be able to quickly see and live in a world where we can go on with our (normal) athlete (activities), so I’d like to spend my time working towards that.

僕が見せたいスケートとか、僕が表現したいものとか、そういうものってやっぱり身体がないと何もできないので、まずは身体を大切に、そしてまわりも人も大切に、大事なものを僕は、スケートという大事なものを守れるように、しっかり胸を張って行動できることをやっていきたいと思います

The kind of performance I want to show, and the things I want to express, ultimately, I cannot do any of that without being healthy. So firstly, I’d like to take good care of my body and also the people around me. I want to contribute what I can, as seriously as I can and with pride, in order to protect figure skating, which itself is something precious to me.
