﻿1
00:00:01,940 --> 00:00:03,942
<i>And now, for the final combination.</i>

2
00:00:04,609 --> 00:00:06,444
<i>A triple Lutz and a triple loop.</i>

3
00:00:09,697 --> 00:00:10,907
<i>He lands it!</i>

4
00:00:10,990 --> 00:00:13,618
<i>A flawless performance
from Shinichiro Sonidori!</i>

5
00:00:13,701 --> 00:00:17,622
<i>That's the kind of mental fortitude
you need in a setting like the Olympics!</i>

6
00:00:19,457 --> 00:00:21,876
<i>That was my first exposure
to figure skating.</i>

7
00:00:23,962 --> 00:00:25,880
I'm Yuna Yagi, and I'm four!

8
00:00:25,964 --> 00:00:27,674
Four, yeah?

9
00:00:27,757 --> 00:00:31,010
Well, that makes you
the exact same age as my son, Rioh.

10
00:00:31,094 --> 00:00:32,637
She's adorable!

11
00:00:33,763 --> 00:00:37,141
<i>He was my idol.
I was so excited just to meet him.</i>

12
00:00:37,225 --> 00:00:40,353
<i>But then he took me
on as his very first student</i>

13
00:00:40,436 --> 00:00:42,063
<i>and taught me how to skate.</i>

14
00:00:42,146 --> 00:00:43,523
<i>I couldn't have been happier.</i>

15
00:00:48,069 --> 00:00:50,280
You're a very graceful skater, Yuna.

16
00:00:53,449 --> 00:00:57,370
<i>I was so honored to have him as a coach
that I knew I just had to be the best.</i>

17
00:00:57,954 --> 00:00:59,038
<i>With that goal in mind,</i>

18
00:00:59,122 --> 00:01:01,791
<i>no amount of training
ever felt like too much.</i>

19
00:01:02,292 --> 00:01:05,420
<i>And he was right there with me
every step of the way.</i>

20
00:01:08,131 --> 00:01:09,924
She can already jump!

21
00:01:10,008 --> 00:01:11,801
And she learned it just by watching.

22
00:01:11,884 --> 00:01:14,053
What a talent.

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,310
<i>I practiced harder and harder jumps</i>

24
00:01:20,393 --> 00:01:22,812
<i>and memorized difficult choreography.</i>

25
00:01:24,188 --> 00:01:27,900
<i>As silver medalist Shinichiro Sonidori's
very first student,</i>

26
00:01:27,984 --> 00:01:31,195
<i>I quickly became
Meikoh Wind's number two athlete,</i>

27
00:01:31,279 --> 00:01:33,615
<i>second only to Riina Kojoh.</i>

28
00:01:38,953 --> 00:01:40,079
Huh?

29
00:01:45,543 --> 00:01:47,337
<i>But it wasn't long after that</i>

30
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:51,758
<i>that Hikaru Kamisaki
mastered all five types of triple jumps.</i>

31
00:03:23,933 --> 00:03:26,936
{\an8}THE QUEEN'S LEAP

32
00:03:32,275 --> 00:03:34,819
Oh, wow. Look. It's Inori!

33
00:03:34,902 --> 00:03:36,696
- Huh?
- Look how fast she is.

34
00:03:36,779 --> 00:03:38,573
Way faster than the others.

35
00:03:38,656 --> 00:03:42,326
<i>Could it be?
Are we all cheering on the same skater?</i>

36
00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:43,494
- What is it?
- Huh?

37
00:03:43,578 --> 00:03:45,329
Hmm. Nothing.

38
00:03:45,955 --> 00:03:47,832
{\an8} <i>Warm-up time has ended.</i>

39
00:03:47,915 --> 00:03:51,085
<i>All skaters,
please return to rinkside at this time.</i>

40
00:03:51,961 --> 00:03:54,130
Huh?

41
00:03:54,213 --> 00:03:56,466
Hey. Good job, Yotsuha.

42
00:03:56,549 --> 00:03:58,676
Huh?

43
00:03:58,759 --> 00:03:59,844
Yuna!

44
00:04:01,387 --> 00:04:03,681
That was the worst I've ever done, Yuna.

45
00:04:03,764 --> 00:04:05,308
Aw, that's not true.

46
00:04:05,391 --> 00:04:09,187
You showed off a lot of good stuff.
It really was beautiful.

47
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:10,897
And you should be proud of that.

48
00:04:12,273 --> 00:04:13,733
Can I say something?

49
00:04:13,816 --> 00:04:14,817
Uh, sure.

50
00:04:14,901 --> 00:04:17,862
I feel like this has got to be destiny.

51
00:04:17,945 --> 00:04:20,698
Hikaru's not here,
and I think fate must have set it up,

52
00:04:20,781 --> 00:04:24,076
so you would win the gold today,
and you deserve the chance.

53
00:04:24,786 --> 00:04:27,872
I think you train way harder
than she does a lot of the time.

54
00:04:28,456 --> 00:04:31,083
So, if you won, I...

55
00:04:31,167 --> 00:04:33,169
Thanks, Yotsuha.

56
00:04:33,252 --> 00:04:35,087
- But listen.
- Huh?

57
00:04:35,171 --> 00:04:39,133
I don't think this is a sport
where you win just by trying harder.

58
00:04:39,217 --> 00:04:41,594
So I don't expect anything going in today.

59
00:04:41,677 --> 00:04:43,721
Hmm.

60
00:04:43,805 --> 00:04:46,265
Okay, I'm gonna go get focused.

61
00:04:46,349 --> 00:04:47,517
'Kay, good luck.

62
00:04:51,354 --> 00:04:53,481
There you go. That's our Yuna.

63
00:04:53,564 --> 00:04:55,358
She's mature, smart as a whip.

64
00:04:55,441 --> 00:04:57,985
She's earned her spot
as Meikoh's number three.

65
00:05:00,571 --> 00:05:03,950
<i>Being number 14
puts me second-to-last in the whole order,</i>

66
00:05:04,033 --> 00:05:06,619
<i>so I've still got some time to kill.</i>

67
00:05:07,119 --> 00:05:09,372
"I'm so impressed
by how hard you're working, Yuna."

68
00:05:09,455 --> 00:05:10,456
Huh?

69
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:12,667
It's all thanks to you, Coach Shinichiro.

70
00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:13,960
Thanks for cheering me on!

71
00:05:14,043 --> 00:05:16,045
<i>Huh? Shinichiro?</i>

72
00:05:16,128 --> 00:05:17,755
<i>Take good care of Rioh for me.</i>

73
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,215
<i>Rioh's dad, Shinichiro?</i>

74
00:05:19,298 --> 00:05:22,718
"You always have
been kind of a worry-wart, haven't you?"

75
00:05:22,802 --> 00:05:26,973
Yes, it's true! My head is so full
of anxieties and worries.

76
00:05:27,557 --> 00:05:28,891
"But you've been practicing very hard.

77
00:05:28,975 --> 00:05:32,353
Keep the panic away
and you're gonna be just fine, okay?"

78
00:05:32,436 --> 00:05:34,146
Wow, you think so?

79
00:05:35,815 --> 00:05:38,234
"I have total faith in you, Yuna."

80
00:05:38,317 --> 00:05:41,737
Thanks a bunch.
I love you, Coach Shinichiro!

81
00:05:43,823 --> 00:05:45,658
Okay! Let's go!

82
00:05:45,741 --> 00:05:46,742
Uh...

83
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,537
A-Are you okay?

84
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:51,289
You...How long were you...

85
00:05:51,372 --> 00:05:54,292
Did you... hear anything?

86
00:05:54,375 --> 00:05:55,751
<i>I love you, Coach Shinichiro!</i>

87
00:05:55,835 --> 00:05:57,169
KID FROM MEIKOH - RIOH'S DAD
COACH SHINICHIRO

88
00:05:57,253 --> 00:06:00,798
<i>I love you! I love you! I love you!</i>

89
00:06:00,882 --> 00:06:02,216
No.

90
00:06:03,384 --> 00:06:05,803
I swear, if you tell anyone...

91
00:06:05,887 --> 00:06:08,055
<i>How does she know that I'm lying?</i>

92
00:06:09,348 --> 00:06:11,726
Wait. It's you. From opening ceremonies.

93
00:06:14,395 --> 00:06:16,898
The stress is giving me heartburn.

94
00:06:16,981 --> 00:06:19,025
You sure it's not just
the way you suck down food?

95
00:06:19,108 --> 00:06:20,860
I'll go get you some medicine.

96
00:06:20,943 --> 00:06:22,820
Thanks, Hitomi.

97
00:06:22,904 --> 00:06:26,324
<i>But it's a coach's job to stay calm
and composed at times like these.</i>

98
00:06:26,407 --> 00:06:27,617
<i>So I gotta keep it together.</i>

99
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:29,577
Coach Akeuraji.

100
00:06:31,162 --> 00:06:34,916
Hello. I'm sorry we didn't get
the opportunity to really talk earlier.

101
00:06:35,416 --> 00:06:37,209
I hope everything goes well for you today.

102
00:06:37,293 --> 00:06:38,794
Yeah, ditto.

103
00:06:38,878 --> 00:06:40,922
{\an8}<i>This man has never
heard of personal space!</i>

104
00:06:41,714 --> 00:06:43,925
- Also...
- Oh. Yes, sir?

105
00:06:44,008 --> 00:06:47,261
I want to thank you again.
You took care of my Rioh.

106
00:06:47,345 --> 00:06:49,138
- I thank you.
- Yeah! Happy to do it.

107
00:06:49,221 --> 00:06:51,432
But you've already thanked me
like a thousand times!

108
00:06:51,515 --> 00:06:54,935
No, on the contrary,
I've hardly thanked you enough.

109
00:06:56,896 --> 00:06:58,648
Ah. Hello, Yuna.

110
00:06:58,731 --> 00:07:00,775
Have you been preparing your--

111
00:07:00,858 --> 00:07:03,944
What are you doing
bothering Coach Shinichiro like this?

112
00:07:04,028 --> 00:07:05,780
Go away and leave him alone.

113
00:07:05,863 --> 00:07:08,532
<i>Um, he's the one bothering me actually.</i>

114
00:07:08,616 --> 00:07:10,534
Allow me to introduce you.

115
00:07:10,618 --> 00:07:12,411
This is Yuna Yagi.

116
00:07:12,495 --> 00:07:14,872
She was my first student after I retired.

117
00:07:15,373 --> 00:07:16,916
It's a pleasure to meet you.

118
00:07:16,999 --> 00:07:18,000
Wow.

119
00:07:18,084 --> 00:07:20,211
Coach Sonidori's very first student?

120
00:07:20,711 --> 00:07:22,171
Kind of like you and me, huh?

121
00:07:22,254 --> 00:07:25,424
This is my first skater,
Miss Inori Yuitsuka.

122
00:07:25,508 --> 00:07:26,676
So nice to meet you.

123
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:30,054
I'm serious, not a word.

124
00:07:30,137 --> 00:07:32,056
<i>How can she read my mind?</i>

125
00:07:32,765 --> 00:07:36,560
I would have assumed that Rioh
was the first skater you ever trained.

126
00:07:36,644 --> 00:07:39,480
Originally, I planned
to start his training once he turned six.

127
00:07:40,022 --> 00:07:43,693
Of course, with Yuna starting so young,
I decided not to wait.

128
00:07:43,776 --> 00:07:45,653
Coach Akeuraji!

129
00:07:45,736 --> 00:07:47,863
Oh! Well, hey, speak of the devil.

130
00:07:47,947 --> 00:07:49,573
It's good to see you.

131
00:07:49,657 --> 00:07:52,118
<i>The personal space thing
is a family trait, I see.</i>

132
00:07:52,201 --> 00:07:53,869
Hey, get away from him right now!

133
00:07:53,953 --> 00:07:55,705
Good luck today, Coach!

134
00:07:55,788 --> 00:07:57,665
I hope everything goes well!

135
00:07:57,748 --> 00:07:59,125
Uh, thank you.

136
00:07:59,208 --> 00:08:01,627
<i>I'm not the one skating, but...</i>

137
00:08:02,294 --> 00:08:04,630
- Same to you, Yuna.
- Thanks, Rioh.

138
00:08:04,714 --> 00:08:07,007
And you do whatever. I don't really care.

139
00:08:08,968 --> 00:08:12,138
Well, I'm gonna work harder
than you can even imagine!

140
00:08:12,221 --> 00:08:14,515
I'll have you know,
I made a promise to Riina Kojoh

141
00:08:14,598 --> 00:08:16,517
at the opening ceremony this morning.

142
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,686
I'm going to take the gold medal
at this championship

143
00:08:18,769 --> 00:08:20,146
- no matter what!
-  Inori.

144
00:08:20,229 --> 00:08:21,230
Huh?

145
00:08:21,313 --> 00:08:24,984
Listen, I know how bad
you want to take that top spot today.

146
00:08:25,818 --> 00:08:28,154
But so do I. So good luck.

147
00:08:28,237 --> 00:08:30,448
Mmm.

148
00:08:37,455 --> 00:08:39,665
You probably don't know this,

149
00:08:39,749 --> 00:08:44,462
but Yuna... she was Meikoh's
number two skater until Hikaru came along.

150
00:08:48,674 --> 00:08:53,679
<i>Setsuna Ashikaga's final score is 67.4.</i>

151
00:08:53,763 --> 00:08:56,557
<i>She currently ranks in seventh place.</i>

152
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,642
<i>Well, well, well, well.</i>

153
00:08:58,726 --> 00:09:02,229
<i>Only three skaters to go,
and Manaka is still in first place.</i>

154
00:09:03,147 --> 00:09:05,649
<i>She could actually run away with this.</i>

155
00:09:06,275 --> 00:09:09,779
<i>But, of course,
Shinichiro's kid is up next.</i>

156
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:12,823
<i>This is the guy who was
gunning for an Olympic medal</i>

157
00:09:12,907 --> 00:09:15,493
<i>long after
the rest of our generation retired.</i>

158
00:09:15,576 --> 00:09:16,702
<i>He's got drive.</i>

159
00:09:17,328 --> 00:09:20,331
<i>And he's not gonna let us win that easily.</i>

160
00:09:23,417 --> 00:09:26,003
<i>This has all gone about as I expected.</i>

161
00:09:26,087 --> 00:09:27,922
<i>Rinna opening with a strong Lutz</i>

162
00:09:28,005 --> 00:09:31,550
<i>made a lot of the other skaters
want to pull out all the stops.</i>

163
00:09:31,634 --> 00:09:34,303
<i>And now that last year's champion,
Setsuna Ashikaga,</i>

164
00:09:34,386 --> 00:09:36,097
<i>has fumbled her performance,</i>

165
00:09:36,180 --> 00:09:39,183
<i>there's less competition
when it comes to technical scores.</i>

166
00:09:41,227 --> 00:09:45,815
<i>But I worry about that Inori Yuitsuka,
Coach Akeuraji's skater.</i>

167
00:09:45,898 --> 00:09:46,941
<i>She's progressed so fast</i>

168
00:09:47,024 --> 00:09:49,318
<i>that all her past scores
are immediately outdated,</i>

169
00:09:49,401 --> 00:09:50,986
<i>essentially unreliable.</i>

170
00:09:52,446 --> 00:09:54,782
<i>We'll need the whole package
if we want to win.</i>

171
00:09:54,865 --> 00:09:56,534
<i>And it'll need to be perfect.</i>

172
00:09:57,034 --> 00:09:58,828
<i>So what should we do?</i>

173
00:09:58,911 --> 00:10:00,371
-  Coach.
- Hmm?

174
00:10:01,247 --> 00:10:03,082
- Are you ready?
- Yes, sir.

175
00:10:03,582 --> 00:10:05,126
I think we should stick with the plan.

176
00:10:05,793 --> 00:10:09,130
You keep that triple Lutz,
double loop combination right up top.

177
00:10:09,713 --> 00:10:11,132
That's the key to victory.

178
00:10:12,049 --> 00:10:13,050
Right.

179
00:10:13,134 --> 00:10:16,262
You've worked very hard for this.
You'll be fine.

180
00:10:16,887 --> 00:10:18,139
Believe in yourself.

181
00:10:24,770 --> 00:10:26,147
I will.

182
00:10:27,398 --> 00:10:32,319
<i>Number 13,
Yuna Yagi from Meikoh Wind FSC.</i>

183
00:10:51,964 --> 00:10:55,551
<i>If there's one skater who can
pull off Coach Shinichiro's choreography,</i>

184
00:10:55,634 --> 00:10:56,635
<i>it's me.</i>

185
00:10:56,719 --> 00:10:59,722
<i>Focus!
The triple Lutz, double loop combination.</i>

186
00:10:59,805 --> 00:11:02,433
<i>If I can land it, I get the gold!</i>

187
00:11:05,561 --> 00:11:08,397
We're live with Riina Kojoh,
the ace of Meikoh Wind

188
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,442
and the young and up-and-coming
genius, Hikaru Kamisaki!

189
00:11:12,651 --> 00:11:15,070
<i>I don't need kindness or pity.</i>

190
00:11:15,654 --> 00:11:18,324
<i>I don't need people
who blindly believe in me.</i>

191
00:11:21,702 --> 00:11:22,828
<i>What I need...</i>

192
00:11:25,164 --> 00:11:28,584
<i>...is the strength
to make them turn their heads!</i>

193
00:11:35,132 --> 00:11:38,677
<i>Triple Lutz into a triple loop.</i>

194
00:11:38,761 --> 00:11:40,137
- That is insane!
- Ah!

195
00:11:40,221 --> 00:11:42,181
Uh, can you clue me in?
Why was that so crazy?

196
00:11:42,264 --> 00:11:44,475
She landed a very difficult triple Lutz

197
00:11:44,558 --> 00:11:47,603
and jumped a triple loop
with no break to build momentum.

198
00:11:47,686 --> 00:11:51,106
And in Novice,
only one other girl can pull that off.

199
00:11:51,607 --> 00:11:54,526
<i>That's what put Hikaru Kamisaki
on the map.</i>

200
00:12:00,491 --> 00:12:01,742
<i>Hang in there!</i>

201
00:12:01,825 --> 00:12:04,161
<i>I've gone off script,
but I can't falter now!</i>

202
00:12:04,662 --> 00:12:05,829
<i>I can't break down.</i>

203
00:12:05,913 --> 00:12:08,499
<i>I need a convincing performance!</i>

204
00:12:13,921 --> 00:12:16,465
<i>Breathe. Focus on your spin.</i>

205
00:12:16,548 --> 00:12:18,259
<i>Don't let your gliding leg wobble.</i>

206
00:12:18,342 --> 00:12:21,553
<i>Hook your blade
and pull it up into a Haircutter spin!</i>

207
00:12:33,607 --> 00:12:35,651
<i>Next, the triple combination.</i>

208
00:12:35,734 --> 00:12:38,821
<i>Double axel, double toe, double loop.</i>

209
00:12:39,780 --> 00:12:40,864
<i>Focus!</i>

210
00:13:07,933 --> 00:13:09,685
<i>Ever since Hikaru showed up,</i>

211
00:13:09,768 --> 00:13:13,147
<i>tons of skaters have lost confidence
and quit the sport altogether.</i>

212
00:13:16,108 --> 00:13:18,986
<i>They got anxious, discouraged, depressed.</i>

213
00:13:19,069 --> 00:13:23,073
<i>But I won't run away,
because I know what I can do.</i>

214
00:13:23,157 --> 00:13:25,534
<i>They may not call me a genius anymore,</i>

215
00:13:25,617 --> 00:13:28,620
<i>but I'm still an incredible athlete!</i>

216
00:13:30,581 --> 00:13:33,792
<i>You don't know how powerless
it makes you feel to be overtaken.</i>

217
00:13:34,501 --> 00:13:37,671
<i>You don't know the agony
of having to close that gap.</i>

218
00:13:39,715 --> 00:13:45,220
<i>And if you don't know that kind of pain,
I'll never let you be a gold medalist!</i>

219
00:13:55,647 --> 00:13:57,983
<i>Yes! An extra 10%!</i>

220
00:14:42,528 --> 00:14:45,906
Wow, a bunch of people
are standing up to clap for her.

221
00:14:45,989 --> 00:14:48,242
Yeah,
and that's called a standing ovation.

222
00:14:48,325 --> 00:14:50,911
We've just witnessed
something incredibly special.

223
00:14:52,329 --> 00:14:55,457
Another young lady who can land
a triple Lutz into a triple loop.

224
00:14:56,083 --> 00:14:57,459
Another prodigy.

225
00:15:05,551 --> 00:15:09,972
<i>How many times did I fall?
How many are they going to count?</i>

226
00:15:13,851 --> 00:15:15,853
I thought we agreed
that you'd stick to the plan.

227
00:15:19,481 --> 00:15:20,607
I'm sorry, Coach.

228
00:15:22,234 --> 00:15:24,611
- That's all right.
- Huh?

229
00:15:25,863 --> 00:15:27,322
You're a little rebel, huh?

230
00:15:28,782 --> 00:15:30,993
You're not mad?

231
00:15:39,501 --> 00:15:41,503
- Hmm...
-  <i>Mr. Sekoma!</i>

232
00:15:41,587 --> 00:15:43,755
Look, I made it to level six!

233
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:45,465
Congratulations.

234
00:15:45,549 --> 00:15:46,550
Thank you.

235
00:15:47,134 --> 00:15:50,179
- But I don't want to stop there.
- Huh?

236
00:15:50,262 --> 00:15:53,390
I'm going to enter
the Chubu Block event right away.

237
00:15:53,974 --> 00:15:57,269
And if I do well enough there,
the All-Japans are next.

238
00:15:57,895 --> 00:15:59,062
Hmm...

239
00:15:59,146 --> 00:16:00,397
-  So, uh...
- Hmm?

240
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,108
What are we thinking, boss? Can Inori win?

241
00:16:03,775 --> 00:16:05,819
Hmm. It's hard to know.

242
00:16:06,361 --> 00:16:10,324
Every one of those girls wants
to leave their best work out on the ice.

243
00:16:10,407 --> 00:16:13,827
They're betting on their hours and hours
of practice to carry them through.

244
00:16:15,162 --> 00:16:18,707
At a certain point, it all boils down
to their passion and their drive,

245
00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:21,960
and how much more brightly Inori can shine
compared to the others.

246
00:16:22,753 --> 00:16:24,296
So I couldn't say.

247
00:16:25,130 --> 00:16:27,299
- But...
-  Huh?

248
00:16:27,382 --> 00:16:29,593
GOOD LUCK, INORI YUITSUKA!

249
00:16:29,676 --> 00:16:30,844
Ah.

250
00:16:32,054 --> 00:16:34,306
<i>From Meikoh Wind FSC,</i>

251
00:16:35,098 --> 00:16:38,810
<i>Yuna Yagi's score is 80.03.</i>

252
00:16:39,394 --> 00:16:42,564
<i>She currently ranks in first place.</i>

253
00:16:42,648 --> 00:16:44,316
- She did it!
- She did it!

254
00:16:46,526 --> 00:16:50,489
We should update your program after this,
use more of those jumps.

255
00:16:51,281 --> 00:16:53,367
And next time, you'll score even higher.

256
00:16:55,202 --> 00:16:56,370
Okay.

257
00:16:56,453 --> 00:16:58,080
Huh? Uh...

258
00:16:58,163 --> 00:17:00,290
Here. Congrats, princess.

259
00:17:00,791 --> 00:17:02,542
Thank you. These are beautiful.

260
00:17:04,461 --> 00:17:07,047
<i>I know the difference
in our talent and experience.</i>

261
00:17:07,923 --> 00:17:11,385
<i>I've taken it all in stride
and worked so hard to catch up.</i>

262
00:17:11,885 --> 00:17:14,471
<i>I've done my best not to be beaten.</i>

263
00:17:15,097 --> 00:17:17,015
<i>But it's true</i>

264
00:17:17,099 --> 00:17:21,270
<i>that the girls in Novice A are all
exactly as good as I knew they would be.</i>

265
00:17:24,189 --> 00:17:25,399
I got a question for ya.

266
00:17:25,482 --> 00:17:27,359
Do you think
she'll try a big jump combination

267
00:17:27,442 --> 00:17:29,861
at the beginning of her routine
like the last skater?

268
00:17:29,945 --> 00:17:31,613
{\an8}I wish I could answer that.

269
00:17:32,197 --> 00:17:36,118
{\an8}The last update she gave me on her jumps
was after she earned her level six badge.

270
00:17:36,201 --> 00:17:37,869
{\an8}She can do a triple Salchow.

271
00:17:38,453 --> 00:17:41,456
<i>But that's worth fewer points
than the triple Lutz.</i>

272
00:17:41,540 --> 00:17:43,959
<i>So, even if she executes it
to the same level,</i>

273
00:17:44,042 --> 00:17:46,044
<i>she'll still get a lower score for it.</i>

274
00:17:46,128 --> 00:17:49,006
Plus, Manaka,
who's currently in second place,

275
00:17:49,089 --> 00:17:51,717
didn't include any high-level jumps
in per program.

276
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,637
But her second-half combination
scored a 10% bonus.

277
00:17:55,721 --> 00:17:59,766
Gotcha. She can perform it perfectly
and still not take the lead.

278
00:17:59,850 --> 00:18:01,351
Of course, I have to assume

279
00:18:01,435 --> 00:18:04,605
that she and her coach must have known
this was a strong possibility.

280
00:18:04,688 --> 00:18:07,316
- Here you go.
- Oh... Huh.

281
00:18:07,899 --> 00:18:09,693
{\an8} <i>Is this for me?</i>

282
00:18:10,402 --> 00:18:13,030
See, generally in singles figure skating,

283
00:18:13,113 --> 00:18:17,367
successful execution of high-difficulty
jumps is considered the gold standard.

284
00:18:17,451 --> 00:18:20,746
But the accuracy and grace of those jumps
and other performance elements

285
00:18:20,829 --> 00:18:23,248
can also strongly contribute
to a good score.

286
00:18:23,332 --> 00:18:26,585
But that can't make up for
not having harder jumps in her program.

287
00:18:26,668 --> 00:18:28,295
Well, not necessarily.

288
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,256
The GOE, or Grade of Execution,

289
00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:33,342
could actually make
all the difference in the world.

290
00:18:33,425 --> 00:18:35,427
<i>Take the double axel, for example.</i>

291
00:18:35,510 --> 00:18:39,306
<i>Anywhere from a 10% to a 50% bonus
could be added to the base score</i>

292
00:18:39,389 --> 00:18:42,684
<i>based on factors such as
the skater's form during the jump itself</i>

293
00:18:42,768 --> 00:18:45,103
<i>or how well they hold their posture
on landing.</i>

294
00:18:45,687 --> 00:18:50,192
<i>Now, adopting a program
that relies heavily on GOE bonuses</i>

295
00:18:50,692 --> 00:18:54,029
<i>is a strategy taken more often
by senior athletes</i>

296
00:18:54,112 --> 00:18:56,031
<i>who are well used to their jumps.</i>

297
00:18:56,114 --> 00:18:57,115
<i>However...</i>

298
00:18:57,199 --> 00:19:00,369
<i>Coach Akeuraji's
entire background as a skater</i>

299
00:19:00,452 --> 00:19:01,870
<i>is in ice dancing.</i>

300
00:19:02,496 --> 00:19:04,790
<i>You don't jump at all in that discipline,</i>

301
00:19:04,873 --> 00:19:09,294
<i>so the standards for judging skating skill
are way higher than they are in singles.</i>

302
00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:12,297
<i>So if I had to guess,</i>

303
00:19:12,381 --> 00:19:14,841
<i>they'll probably use that
to their advantage.</i>

304
00:19:22,849 --> 00:19:24,101
Wait a second.

305
00:19:24,685 --> 00:19:26,645
That's it. I'm sure of it.

306
00:19:27,437 --> 00:19:29,564
This is Inori's secret weapon.

307
00:19:30,190 --> 00:19:31,733
<i>This is our ace in the hole!</i>

308
00:19:34,778 --> 00:19:36,029
<i>It's showtime.</i>

309
00:19:36,113 --> 00:19:39,574
<i>It all comes down to trusting
that she can skate as she always does</i>

310
00:19:39,658 --> 00:19:41,201
<i>without letting her mind waver.</i>

311
00:19:42,285 --> 00:19:45,539
<i>Self-confidence, determination, courage.</i>

312
00:19:46,498 --> 00:19:48,458
<i>That's all I need to drill into her now.</i>

313
00:19:49,751 --> 00:19:53,880
<i>But what should I say?
How do I get her to believe in herself?</i>

314
00:20:02,222 --> 00:20:03,390
Inori, listen.

315
00:20:09,980 --> 00:20:10,897
Huh?

316
00:20:10,981 --> 00:20:14,860
Today, I'm going to make
a gold medalist out of you.

317
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,195
You're going to win this.

318
00:20:18,989 --> 00:20:20,282
You think so?

319
00:20:20,907 --> 00:20:23,368
I do.
But you need to think so too.

320
00:20:23,869 --> 00:20:27,038
The most important factor here
is your resolve, Inori.

321
00:20:28,165 --> 00:20:31,668
Every athlete in this place
is working hard, striving for first.

322
00:20:32,210 --> 00:20:36,256
But unless you're willing to risk it all,
you'll never take home the gold.

323
00:20:37,591 --> 00:20:39,342
<i>Inori, please.</i>

324
00:20:40,051 --> 00:20:41,178
<i>Please hear me.</i>

325
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,598
<i>If you listen to what I'm saying
and believe in yourself,</i>

326
00:20:44,681 --> 00:20:46,767
<i>you'll have the strength to push forward.</i>

327
00:20:46,850 --> 00:20:48,435
<i>Don't you dare hesitate!</i>

328
00:20:51,021 --> 00:20:53,315
You have everything you need
to take the gold.

329
00:20:54,065 --> 00:20:55,275
You've got this.

330
00:20:58,403 --> 00:21:03,325
<i>Number 14, Inori Yuitsuka
from Lux Higashiyama FSC.</i>

331
00:21:06,411 --> 00:21:08,663
Then trust in me. All right, Coach?

332
00:21:10,373 --> 00:21:13,001
Do you believe in me?

333
00:21:15,212 --> 00:21:16,296
You know I do.

334
00:21:23,762 --> 00:21:24,930
Then I've got this.

335
00:21:28,183 --> 00:21:29,559
Yeah, you do!
