Yuma Kagiyama, who takes a break next season, saw glimmer of hope in Alysa: "That's what I need."

Paywalled article. Yuma mentions his feelings about Alysa Liu's return to the sport and seeing how much fun she has while skating. He thought to himself, "that's what I need." Given his status as an "ace" in Japan figure skating, he shares how he approached things very seriously in the past and how he wishes to skate more with honesty and authenticity in the future. 🥹❄️⛸️👑❤️‍🔥

B E N O I T : "I've been working with Donovan Carrillo since 2021, and honestly when I see him on the ice now, it's just not the same person anymore. Not in a dramatic way, just in a real way. Everything makes more sense.

"We didn't try to rush anything or change him, we just kept working, season after season, and let things build naturally. And you can feel that today.

"This new free program we did together goes somewhere else.

"I think you'll feel it pretty quickly when you see it. And for me, that's the best part... seeing someone grow like that and stay true to who he is 🤎"
