Translated excerpt from interview by herehere at Yu-Na Kim Forum:
Quote:
Q Have you made any changes to your jumps?
A To be honest, because of the frequent mistake on them, I felt nervous doing triple loops. But the repeated practice lessened the stress, I think. And my success of that jump in China helped me build more confidence on them.
Q You've always been excellent at jumps.
A I think the improved fitness level helped with the jumps. Jumps really come from your fitness. If you are weak, the body gets shaky and unsettles the jumping positions.
Q Even Mao Asada mentioned that your jumps improved.
A (with a big smile) Oh, really? This season, Mao seems to have improved a lot in expressions. And her steps improved, too. |
