日本の高橋大輔は”Blues for Klook”を滑り、実に見事なパフォーマンスをやり遂げました。2010年世界チャンピオンである彼は、この日、誰よりも確実なジャンプを降りてみせたのです。彼の、ただ一つのエラーは四回転トゥループ両足着氷後に手を付いたというもので、その後、トリプルアクセルを含む8度の3回転ジャンプを完璧にこなしています。プログラム全体は、ただただ素晴らしいものでした。彼は音楽の中にあり、音楽とともに生き、身体の動き全て、そして信じられないようなステップとステップ・シークエンスを通し、彼自身のフィーリングとエモーションを人々に伝えたのです。有難う、大輔。
thanks for your kind letter and for the translation of my interview. I am pleased it was appreciated by your fans. I can understand your disappointment for the judging system. It is much too demanding for the skaters and much too complicated for the fans to understand. We can only hope that in 2016, when a new leadership of the ISU will be elected, there will be a total review of the system to guarantee more transparency and fairness. I am a great fan of Takahashi . He has been a fantastic skater and will remain in the history of skating, as many other Japanese skaters. As you know I was one the first officials who worked very closely with the Japanese Federation to develop figure skating in your country. I am happy and honored for this. I understand that you all are sorry for Takahashi decision to stop competing. But, in my opinion, an atelete should withdraw when he still is at the top of his career to leave a great memory of his achievements. And perhaps the moment for Daisuke has arrived. We will all miss him.
