In a post-competition interview, Hanyu muttered, “I’m honest that I’ve done everything. Obviously, I jumped the accelerator better than the previous competition …. That’s all for me.” , “Of course it’s important not to make mistakes, and I understand that you can’t win if you don’t, but in a sense, it’s because of those two mistakes in the first half.Heaven and earthI think that the story was completed. “.
When I first heard the word, I understood the meaning intuitively to some extent, but for a while I couldn’t get rid of the unfortunate feeling that I wanted to see Hanyu’s third straight victory.

Perhaps that performance was a representation of the literally epic story of “Ten to Chi to” sent from heaven to this world, including the mistake of jumping as Hanyu said. That “mysterious sense of conviction” has fallen into my mind.
