🇯🇵 Ami Nakai I could do a repeat and it was my goal, but more than that, I really wanted to show a performance that I was proud of and satisfied with. I’m really happy to have done both of these. I’m really happy.

(Regarding the protests) It was my first time dealing with such a situation. I couldn’t return to the hotel, it brought a lot of anxiety to me. I have my own but it added to it. But I had to put them aside and there’s one thing to do, and it is to deal with it. I trusted myself.

Compared to last year at this event, I was just a challenger. I was fearless and going for it. But many things have happened in the last year, I was able to show many good performances in many competitions. But today it was the first time that I felt I was determined to win.

It brought a lot of pressure but I overcame it. I scored the exact same score as last year, I was really surprised but really happy. I think this was the first time I faced such fear before heading into my skate. But in the last pose I was able to show off my joy and my pride.
