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.

OK, well, what was to say first? Yes, my future plans. Regarding my future plans, I have more concrete visions for the things that I plan to do within this year to some degree. Actually, there are a few things that I have decided to do, this or that, within this year. And Iโm practicing for them now. However, Iโm thinking of announcing it at a different time, so itโs still a secret. Hehehe. Yes. About the activities to do within this year, I have a feeling that they will soon be decided, and they have been put into motion after the press conference so honestly Iโm very busy and find it hard to do. Well, as Iโd like to work hard on various things even if I have to cut down on my sleep, please look forward to it.

And then about the 4A, I think it would be great if Iโd have a chance to jump it in a program if possible. However, its success rate has not reached that level yet, and honestly speaking, I did it today but the level of the 4 and a half rotation now has reached only the same level as what I did at the Japanese National Championships [in 2021]. But considering my ankle condition, since it is a jump that would put a huge load on my left ankle, in that sense my left ankle has been in a better condition compared to the Japanese Nationals, and also my right ankle has recovered to some degree, so that I can challenge it like this. From now on, I will leverage my experiences from the (Beijing)* Olympics or the experiences as well as the knowledge that I had accumulated by then, so that I will be able to become much better. Thank you.
*T/N: Multiple outlets (Sports Hochi, Nikkan) have reported that Yuzuru says Pyeongchang here but based on the context of what heโs talking about (the 4A) and the fact he corrected himself on a similar mistake a few times in post-presscon media, we believe he meant to say Beijing.

Well, after all, while I do the activities as a professional athlete, there are some points that I find different from the competitions. Let me see.. How can I put itโฆFor example, itโs not just doing a 6 minute warmup and then doing one program and finishing up. Itโs not only skating for the sake of getting scores, but of course, there is the need to put out a program that everyone would be willing to watch. For me, in addition to that, I think I have to give a performance like SEIMEI which I did today, namely the program that has the same quality, or even higher quality than the ones for the competitions, the performance where I step up a gear. Well, you might have thought while watching my todayโs practices, it is much tougher. Hehehe. It is really hard, and, honestly speaking, when Iโm trying to build up the structure of my new show* and practicing for it, Iโm doing it while feeling that itโs truly tough. But even in such a situation, I want to carry it through until the end without dropping the level (of my performance). So Iโd appreciate it if you could look forward to both the style of the coming show and expect an even higher level of explosive power from me.
*T/N: โNew show” would mean the ice shows he is now working on, potentially the ones in Sendai or Miyagi that he referred to in Part 2 of this article series.

Oh, in fact I really want to quickly go back to my team Iโve trained and show my appreciation to them. However, as I said earlier, Iโm now building up a lot of different plans, or Iโve been shooting and editing YouTube videos. They are really like beginner’s works, but I also think they feel like mine. In that sense, Iโve been kind of running around all over the place and can hardly have a chance to go and meet them, which makes me feel apologetic. Having said that, I received an email from Ghislain again this morning, and he was like โIโm watching you!โ. Thinking of their attitudes of trying to watch me until the very end or really sending me various pieces of advice from afar, I really want to go to see them quickly to show my appreciation.

Ghislain, yes – Ghislain and Tracy and Brian.. I havenโt been able to see them for a very long time, so I really want to go and see my coaches and tell them, โThank you very muchโ and โPlease support me from now onโ. In addition to them, here in Sendai, there is Nanami-sensei who uses this rink as her home base, also Soji-sensei. And Iโm wondering if I can get a chance to meet and show my appreciation to Mami-sensei as well as Tsuzuki-sensei. I really want to do so. I wonder if they would watch this (live streaming) video, but in reality, itโs better if I am able to go to see them in person and convey my deep appreciation to them. Hehehe. Oh boy, I really want to see them.

Firstly, about my jacket: it was a sudden decision to create a new jacket for my new start, and actually, I received it just this morning. So this is a tentative style. From here, Iโm thinking of doing various things in future. As for the thoughts behind it, well, I put in the idea of using colors that are a little bit reminiscent of SEIMEI.

And the next question was.. oh yes, (my state of mind) after the press conference. Well, I’ll tell you that Iโve been spending my days being very nervous until today. Of course, while doing various activities, there are many things that I have to do by myself, I mean, do by myself as a professional athlete. Iโve also taken initiative in doing things that I used to let others do, as well as considering various things. Thereโre quite a lot of things like that. So it was very hard and Iโve been doing them while thinking that I had to cut down on my sleep a lot.

However, as for my feelings, I actually think that I even need to practice harder than when I was a competitive skater, and Iโve been actually doing it that way. So letโs say I used to work hard being chased by the things called competitions, but now I feel like I want to go beyond everyoneโs expectation. Hehehe. I think that would probably be much harder. But in fact, Iโve actually been able to have fulfilling days in my life. But in such an environment, as a professional athleteโฆ as I have experienced many injuries as a competitor, and after all I cannot be allowed to cancel the event when I become a professional athlete,* and also I donโt want to disappoint the expectations of everyone who is looking forward to watching me. So from now on, as a professional athlete, above all, I will try to avoid getting injured, and will work hard to let everyone watch me perform at a high level every time.
*T/N: It seems he thinks this way for himself. He is not referring to others.

Could you tell us about the reason you named it โSharePracticeโ, about the decision to take individual interviews (with the media) after the practice session, and also about Ohtani, who is your age and matched Babe Ruthโs great achievement*.

OK, so first of all, about Ohtani-san. I really appreciate that you gave a comment for me when you did an interview at the All-star Game. Once again, I think you have obtained an unattainably great achievement that seemed impossible in this era. Congratulations to you. I can hardly come close to you, and Iโm really honored to be in this โOhtani generationโ*. Iโd really like you to work hard as you have been doing, and as I have just stepped up onto the professional stage, Iโll do my best to be able to catch up with Ohtani san. Maybe I cannot, I guessโฆ(laugh). Itโd be my pleasure if we can meet again.
*T/N: As Shohei Ohtani and Yuzuru Hanyu were born in the same year (1994) and had remarkable achievements in their respective fields, the media came up with the terms โHanyu generationโ and โOhtani generationโ to show their significance compared to their peers. In interviews, Shohei and Yuzuru often exchanged compliments by acknowledging the other person as the representative of their generation, saying they are only a person living in the other personโs generation.

And then, what was next? Oh, yes, about the interviews, I remember! Regarding the interviews, honestly speaking, I could not receive them individually so often at open practices or during competitions. Well, I can only do the brief ones for each. But I thought I would definitely want to put individual interviews (into this practice session) however difficult it would be, so though originally I was thinking of doing all the interviews in the mixed zone, I insisted on it, saying โplease let me do thatโ, and so I did. I’d be really happy if people from each media company would take their time to write (their own article) about this person called Yuzuru Hanyu.

Also about the title, โSharePracticeโ, I decided not to put a space in between (the two words) and made it SharePractice. I think of it as one word, or a newly coined phrase. At first, I thought of โOpen Practiceโ, โOpen Trainingโ, and many other phrases. But when I thought about the things that I can own together with everyone and that we can go on fighting together in future, I thought โShareโ would be the most suitable one for me. On the other hand, this is an event and at the same time, I want people to watch me fight it out until the end – which is the greatest purpose and theme of this event, so I decided myself to title it โSharePracticeโ without omitting the word โPracticeโ. Thatโs it. Thank you very much.
