âYou said your inner balance fell apart in the free, but there were also reports that your asthma flared up?
Yuzuru: I think I felt the asthma attack itself a little bit after the free skate. But, after it ended, I thought it was a bit painful, but well, I wasnât late to coming to the rink for that reason in particular. Itâs rather, there were a few small troubles that kept stacking up. Well, in the 6 minute warm-up, I didnât feel any effects from that, but ultimately, I think all those small things ended up making everything fall apart. In my mind, Iâm certain of the cause. Having said that, if asked whether that was what led to that huge mistake [in the free program], I donât think it was as big of a miss as it was in terms of the miss in the score. Itâs just within myself, one by one, little by little, everything started to come apart. Thatâs why, even more so than things like the placements and scores was the feeling within myself that I had properly completed the program.

— What are your feelings aiming towards the Beijing Olympics?
Y: Mmm. Itâs not anything like whether or not I want to quit competing but itâs a bit like Iâll never be satisfied for my whole life if I donât jump the 4A hehehe. Of course, there are days where, for a period, Iâll be thinking things about my age and the fact my physical fitness is diminishing, but right now, Iâm proceeding with the feeling that Iâm not done yet, that there are still ways I can grow and evolve. Of course, itâs easy to compare absolute results and well, in my instance, my previous glories or achievements. If you compare with my past accomplishments and ask whether Iâm still holding onto them, that might be difficult to answer. However, there is no doubt I have improved and become better, definitely more than at the Pyeongchang Olympics [2018] and at the Helsinki World Championships [2017]. So I donât feel like Iâve hit my limit yet. Rather, itâs a question of how I overcome moments in which I may feel like this is my limit. Well, from here on thereâs the World Team Trophy though Iâm saying this while the World Team Trophy isnât on my mind right now. Iâve decided that Iâll be practising the 4A in the off season. And while practicing for the 4A, there will be questions like how to overcome the times where I feel like I canât jump it or when Iâm hitting a wall, how to give myself the morale boost to keep going. Right now, I feel like I must think about those things, and leverage the knowledge and experience I currently have in order to prevail.

âWhat about your training base going forward?
Yuzuru: Um, yesterday, after the competition ended I returned with Brian and after that I got some emails too. Well, thereâs various things we can try. However, none of that is definitive. But, well, Brian and the others are looking forward to teaching me at the Cricket Club any time, and told me that theyâd like to skate together with me again soon. However, things are still uncertain within my thoughts and I canât decisively say I will return to Canada. After all, this season, I learned quite a lot from training by myself. I think itâs precisely because I trained alone that I was able to learn those things, and also Iâm at a stage where Iâm doing quite a lot of the quad Axel-related practice on my own, and Iâve learned various things in doing that. So, um, yes, for example, when training with other people, if I try to work on the quad Axel, there might be times where there are others in the trajectory of the jump, and it would distract me. Also, things like the condition of the ice. Those kinds of things, I donât have to worry about when I train on my own. I can really concentrate on the jumps. Also, practicing along with the music is something unique about figure skating. Thereâs an order to that [in group settings], and a priority order in which the music tracks are played. For instance, thereâs a rule that those who have a competition coming up can practice quite a bit [with the music], but those who donât have a competition coming up yet cannot. Iâve been practicing now without all of that, and itâs really flexible in that I can practice what I want to, and according to a training plan I come up with. I think itâs a question of how to take that into account. Something also [to consider] is the condition of my body. Without a doubt, since coming back here, or rather, ever since Iâve returned to Japan which is indeed quite a long period of time, I havenât visited the doctor* who helps me with [off-ice] care back in Toronto. I think, for sure, I am starting to wear out. And since Iâm working on the quad Axel, Iâm putting quite a lot of strain in various places, like my feet, legs, neck, etc. So I think Iâll have to weigh this up while thinking about my decision as well, so thatâs why itâs difficult to say right now whether Iâll go back [to Canada], or stay in Japan.
*T/N: Unclear what kind of doctor, or possibly physio, etc.

âYour thoughts on Chenâs Free Skate?
Y: I didnât have any feelings in particular, to be honest. Um⊠of course, I think [Nathan] Chen is amazing and to be able to complete a program with all 5 highly difficult quads with that quality is no ordinary feat. I think these are the fruits of his hard work. However this time, the main thing I was feeling was preventing infection andâincluding the two weeks of quarantine we have to do when we returnâ about finishing the World Championships in good health. In any case, the situation in my hometown is not good so I have a strong desire to both not spread infection myself and not be infected. Precisely because that was my number one goal this time, in my mind, it wasnât something as simple as going up against Nathan, and I didnât really have something like any straightforward strategy. It was more like⊠how do I put it, more than a competition against myself, there was an element of fighting the coronavirus this time. Iâm not really concerned about it. More anything else, the number one thing Iâm happy and relieved about is securing the 3 [Olympic] spots for Japan. Because Iâm the Japanese National Champion, I had a strong sense of duty to fight for the Olympic spots, and it was a strong reason for competing here. The big thing was that I properly contributed to securing 3 spots for Japanese Men. I havenât really thought about anything else.

Yuzuru: My condition is fine. Not a problem, not a problem. Everyone on TV was worried about me but my physical condition is 100% not an issue.

âYou said youâll think about the Beijing Olympics in the course of pursuing the quad Axel, but, in other words, if you land the (quad) Axel, are you going to retire?
Y: Hahaha. Asking so bluntly! Ahh, I donât know. Well, even if I talk about when I land the (quad) Axel, itâll depend on how that happens. Whether I myself am satisfied with it or not. The fact Iâm working on the quad Axel with so much effort, with so much focus, and making it my goal, is also in the end, I think, based on whether I can be satisfied within my own heart or not. So, if Iâll be satisfied with having jumped it, perhaps Iâll think about it. However, as I said during the earlier interview as well, this Yuzuru Hanyu is, without a doubt, still improving. Hehe. Indeed getting better. For instance, if you compare my [current] elements to that of Helsinki Worlds, certainly, there was one jump less. And in the second half [of the program], instead of a [quad] Salchow, it was a [quad] Toe Loop. I think the probability of skating a clean program, or something like the strength to not fall apart, are better than they were then. Also, Iâve become able to aim [for these kinds of programs], whereas that time [in Helsinki] it was by chance; I felt like I had been able to get into the âzoneâ. Now, Iâve become able to aim for this, and I think Iâm really improving in that regard, actually. Of course, there are times I canât put out a [good] result and itâs difficult. Regarding my performances this time, yes, there were jumps that didnât get [good] scores, and I think the performance didnât either. But beyond scores, these were performances where I felt that ah, the training I did wasnât wrong. Thatâs why, for me, thereâs not really the feeling that I should quit because Iâve reached my limits or anything.

âYour programs for next season?
Y: I said this in Fuji TVâs interview earlier but in any case, this is just in my mind but I do want to put the 4A in âTen to Chi toâ. Well, I created this program with that desire. Therefore – though I havenât completely decided yet – I feel that I want to skate âTen to Chi toâ. After all, Iâve barely had any competitions this season. I want to show more of the good parts of this program. And I think once the 4A is added, its impression will completely change. Itâs for those reasons, I want to perfect this little one.*

âHow often are you jumping the 4A in a day? How much of it can you do?
Y: Um, if I can just rotate about â more, I can get it, without doubt. I can land it. So until I can get there, I have been pushing my body and there have been points of pain that are appearing little by little. The damage is definitely accumulating. And then you asked how long I was training it? Letâs see…but⊠there was a question before [in a past interview] about when I decided to abandon plans for the quad Axel in this competition, and I said three days. Truthfully, I had thought to myself that the limit was that I had to land it by the end of February or I couldnât put it in. If I landed it by February, I decided I would add it; if I landed even just one, I decided I would put it in the program. But, I couldnât land it by the end of February, and so I extended the deadline until now. Around that time, I was indeed working like hell. I didnât jump any of the other jumps, just the Axel. For two hours on end. Of course, I wasnât jumping the 4A the entire time, but there were indeed quite a few two hour sessions where I only jumped Axels. I think on average about 45 minutes. Thank you very much. Itâs been a tough day for everyone. Thank you. I ask for your support again.
