Figure Skating Boutique Summer Skate is my “home event” and I look forward to it every year. It’s a good opportunity to meet some of Japan’s up-and-coming young skaters in a relatively relaxed environment. Yuki Nishino, one of Japan’s top junior skaters, is living in Toronto and is training at the Granite Club, and was on the roster in the Junior Ladies event. She and her agents agreed to an interview, and we scheduled it for Friday afternoon, right after her short program. Her coach here in Toronto, Shin Amano, is an old friend of Japan Skates and acted as her interpreter. I have put Shin’s translations into the first person. Enjoy!
JS: Japan Skates
YN: Yuki Nishino
JS: Good afternoon Yuki. How do you feel about your short program today? (Yuki had finished first in her group with a score of 44.60, landing a triple Lutz, triple flip and a single Axel).
