Yuzuru Hanyu: "I often cannot sleep at night - I wake up and think about how I looked on the ice"

Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu told about his plans for the Olympic season.

"At the team world championship, I first made a combination of a quadruple jumps and a triple Salchow. Although it was not perfect, I was pleased. I also made three quadruple jumps in the second part of the free program. Perhaps the first in the world.

And all this looks very positive before the Olympic season. I have enough energy to do it again, although I still need to work harder to become stronger physically and psychologically.

Last season I wanted to test myself, to challenge myself. In this regard, the season was very successful. It's great that I can show completely different styles of riding in short and free programs. This is what I'm going to do in the new season.

I often can not sleep at night. I wake up at three or four in the morning and think about how I looked on the ice and what the audience saw. Is the attention of the public pressing on me? No, I'm happy that people from all over the world watch not only me but also other figure skaters and become fans of figure skating. I'm glad that children and adults after our performances themselves are on skates, "said Hanyu.
