My Experience with Yuzuru Hanyu
In fact, I once attended a figure skating competition with friends to watch him perform. Surrounded by the atmosphere of the venue and the enthusiasm of the audience, I was deeply touched to witness his performance up close. Especially when he finished his routine, the applause and cheers felt like the entire venue was united as one. However, it’s a funny story that we arrived at the venue a bit too early and ended up eating too many snacks with my friends. Consequently, I was full before the competition even started, which diluted the tension a bit, but such little incidents have become cherished memories.
