Rio NAKATA 🇯🇵 JPN | 156.61 / 249.25
On the toe loop mistakes
Nakata: Honestly, I don't know. I hadn't made a single mistake in practice. If the second one popped, honestly, that can't be helped, but I thought I'd definitely land the third one, so I'm frustrated. I thought once I landed the Salchow I could do everything from there, so making a mistake like this on the toe loop is quite surprising.
On finishing second
Nakata: Honestly, I was only aiming for first at this competition, so I'm honestly not happy even with second. I have to get a higher placement at NHK Trophy or I can't go to the Final, so it's frustrating. I think it's really either win at NHK or there's no Final.
On the pressure
Nakata: I was more nervous than yesterday, and it had been quite a while since I felt this kind of pressure, so I was anxious. It was hard. In terms of nerves, it felt similar to Junior Worlds, with the pressure that I had to win here. Honestly, score-wise, this was a competition I definitely could have won, so I'm really frustrated.
On his senior debut
Nakata: I really wanted to finish with a win. Otherwise it doesn't lead to the Final. Even though it's my debut, in my own mind I had gotten myself ready to compete as a senior. I'm frustrated. In both of my senior international competitions, I skated last, and there was the difficulty of skating last. Everyone is really good, so even if I don't want to be aware of the other skaters, I end up being aware of them, and I think that's something I need to change.
