Yuzuru Hanyu (27), who has been leading the world of figure skating, put a period in his competitive life. ◆ Shuzo Matsuoka listens at the hotel where Yuzuru Hanyu held a press conference.Shuzo Matsuoka: “I had an hour to express my determination. I was able to convey my thoughts. However, I thought I wasn’t the usual Hanyu-san. I was really nervous. I wonder if my thoughts were that strong. Yuzuru Hanyu: “I was nervous. I don’t really know how to receive it, and in the first place, for the so-called” retirement “word and image I currently envision. Although I had a very different image, I challenged this press conference, so I was worried that I could really convey it. ”Mr. Shuzo Matsuoka:“ Looking back on the interviews so far, the game I really like Yuzuru Hanyu, who is particular about it. “Yuzuru Hanyu (2017):” My starting point is that it’s deep in my heart, so I’m definitely winning or losing. What is skating for? I want to win if I’m asked if I’m doing it. “Yuzuru Hanyu (2019):” When I’m doing this sport called skating, I really chop up every single part of my life and just for skating. It’s really hard to lose there. ”Mr. Shuzo Matsuoka:“ I’ve heard this from Mr. Hanyu, so it’s okay to think that I’m off the stage of the game this time. Yuzuru Hanyu: “Rather, I think I’ve moved from the stage of the game to the next stage, so in a sense, it’s also called” retirement, “but from the so-called amateur skaters to professional skaters. I would be happy if you could feel completely different from the road. In that sense, I may not be competing for evaluation on the spot, but I am always in the past. I would like to do it from now on with a strong will to stand there even more while fighting with everyone while showing that “I’m better now” and fighting with everyone’s expectations. ” Considering that the competition with the surroundings is different, for me, “SEIMEI” in 2015. The game was really amazing. No Miss Perfect. How do you perceive your game at this time? “Yuzuru Hanyu Yuzuru Hanyu: “Honestly, I’d definitely like to be there at this time.” Shuzo Matsuoka: “What !?” Yuzuru Hanyu: “That’s right. It was just. However, at this time, I think I was probably saying that if you have a good balance between your mind and body, you can definitely do it with no mistakes. Rather than wanting to win, rather than wanting to make no mistakes, I felt like I was doing my best.After all, because of the feelings you expected, the many performances you envisioned, and so on, I couldn’t finish this performance. I think. “Mr. Shuzo Matsuoka:” When you think about it, is it different from what you are fighting against? “Yuzuru Hanyu:” Maybe I wasn’t fighting much at this time. Rather, this was the most scary time for me in the past. ”Shuzo Matsuoka:“ What do you mean? ”Yuzuru Hanyu:“ For the first time in the previous game, I exceeded 300 points, and there. There was another match soon after. To be honest, it’s not that easy to keep my body, and to be honest, I rarely missed both the short program and the free program. For skaters. If I was told how many times I had in my life, it might be innumerable, but I really had only so many times. After all, I was very nervous, and how do I beat myself in the previous match? I feel like I was just thinking about things like that. ”Mr. Shuzo Matsuoka:“ It may be rude to ask Mr. Hanyu, but I’m an athlete after all. The word “limit” was also in me. When I thought about the limits of my body, I think there were a lot of them, including my ankles. How did you capture those limits this time? “Yuzuru Hanyu:” Maybe tennis If you look at it, this is not “professional retirement”. If you compare it to tennis, it’s about “becoming a professional tennis player from an amateur”. “Matsuoka Shuzo:” Is it from now? “Hanyu Yuzuru: “So, of course, I’m worried about my ankles when it comes to my own body. While practicing, I think it’s okay today, or when I wake up in the morning, it hurts. There are many things. However, especially in the last four years, I learned that even though I was injured during the four years after the Heisei Olympics, it is worthwhile to practice so much because I was able to grow this much. However, when I think about myself who is actually getting better, I can still go. Of course, in terms of instantaneous power and various aspects, I think that it is not as good as when I was a teenager. Get better I think Because there are some tennis players who are about 40 years old and are insanely good at it. Figure skating is just hard to understand because there is no such example, and I honestly think that I can get better in the future. “Mr. Shuzo Matsuoka:” For example, at a press conference today, “The Limits of the Mind.” So, how did you say, “The name Yuzuru Hanyu is heavy on your own”, this is also an expectation, and the thoughts of those around you, how was it like the limit of your heart? “Yuzuru Hanyu:” Perhaps I’ve lost my mind many times, or maybe I’m doing something “nothing”. To be honest, I’ll never forget the hardest time, but I don’t want to say that, but at that time I really didn’t have enough food, I didn’t really go through it, I didn’t want to eat it, but while I was acting, I was praying, what I wanted to express, and all my emotions. That’s right. For figure skating. I can put emotions in figure skating because of the basics and techniques that I have accumulated since I was 4 years old, so of course my heart is likely to break. There are many things, but even now. But it’s still fun to skate and have everyone watch it. But the process up to that point was painful, and in the process up to that point, I had to say my own words. Shuzo Matsuoka: “At the time of the Beijing Olympics, Mr. Hanyu’s charm is that it’s the hardest time to say something or get hurt in a state where you can’t argue with anything.” It’s the word “unrewarded effort” that exposes your weaknesses. I feel like you’ve seen a different side of Mr. Hanyu. “Yuzuru Hanyu:” Thanks to that, Hanyu. I was glad to see that there were many people who seemed to be perfect, such as skating, who thought that there was such a place and wanted to support me. I didn’t mean to go out at all, and to be honest, I thought I’d just go down 4A, but in fact I tried at the Olympics like this, failed, I couldn’t get it, and I wasn’t rewarded. The fact that there are many people who support me and feel something in their appearance still saves me, and I will continue to do my best from now on. If you can run with me I want to run while aiming for a dream together. “Mr. Shuzo Matsuoka:” To be honest, there was one thing that I thought was a mistake. When I heard “I’m going to do a quadruple axel”, ha! ?? I thought.Yuzuru Hanyu: “I’ve been working so hard so far, so I’m still in the middle of the road, so I’d be happy if you could pursue your dreams with everyone.” Shuzo Matsuoka: “How about Mr. Okoshi?” Do you feel it? “Kensuke Okoshi Caster:” I don’t think the word “retirement” is always accurate, but there was a saying, “I will continue to fight on a different stage from my past self and the expectations of those around me.” Yuzuru Hanyu: “I haven’t taken a rest at all, I. I practiced until late yesterday, and even while I wasn’t actually on the ice, I practiced and imagined. I do a lot of things, such as training, paying attention to my diet, and I think that the words “retirement” and “period” have a negative image and loneliness. However, I’m glad if you can expect it because I’ll be even better from here. “Kensuke Okoshi Caster:” I think I’ve been carrying various things on my back with expectations from all over the world. I don’t think anyone will scold me for a short break, but what about? “Yuzuru Hanyu:” I don’t feel that way. Rather, what kind of performance do you want to show from here? I think it’s the most important time to put it out, and of course I want to cherish my body, and as I said at the interview, I also want to cherish my heart. I think everyone is most concerned about what kind of Yuzuru Hanyu will be from here. That’s why I want to do my best. “Mr. Shuzo Matsuoka:” Maybe everyone said “Thank you for your hard work” or “Thank you.” I want to say that, but is that a slightly different way of thinking? “Yuzuru Hanyu:” It’s a bit disappointing to say “Thank you for your hard work.” It’s a bit disappointing to feel sad or lonely. But to be honest, my true feelings are, to be honest, very, very forward. Shuzo Matsuoka: “I graduated from one stage. After graduating,” communication “in English.” Communication “is a” new start. ” . Yuzuru Hanyu: “I’m off the new start I talked to Shuzo when I was 16” Shuzo Matsuoka: “I want to keep an eye on the new start.” Yuzuru Hanyu: “I’ll do my best.” .. thank you”
