He confided that he was satisfied with some aspects of his free skating performance.“I am more happy when I see someone close to me, someone I train with, someone like Adam this time, winning and being happy about it, than when I win. That is how little I feel about my own results and the competitive spirit of the competition. There are days when I practice with a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment, but what motivates me to keep going? I was thinking, “What is going to happen?” I think everyone has a stronger feeling of “I’m going to do my best here,” when compared to how they feel about the match. I was motivated by the presence of Nathan and Yuzu. If I can be that kind of person, even a little, I want to fulfill my responsibility.”   His somewhat optimistic comment also makes me feel a sense of loneliness. The season has just begun. We look forward to the moment when Uno’s heart lights up.
