Shun Sato won his second consecutive title at the Japan Intercollegiate Championships, focusing on personal growth and aiming for a medal at his first Olympics. Here’s a translation of his comments.
Sato attempted a quadruple flip, which he does not plan to include at the Olympics, but had a shaky landing. Nevertheless, he succeeded with a triple axel combination and a quadruple-triple toe loop combination. “I included the flip with an eye on the future beyond the Olympics. I was able to land good jumps overall, and this experience will help me going forward,” he said.
Looking ahead to the decisive year of 2026 as an Olympic representative, Sato reiterated, “This season, I want to stay true to myself. Rather than focusing on other skaters, I want to concentrate on myself and keep improving my personal best,” he said. ” He added, “I’m looking forward to the Olympics. It will be my first time at the Games, so I want to enjoy every moment – not just the competition, but the whole atmosphere.” With a positive mindset, he declared, “My goal is to win a medal.”
