エキシビションの練習では4回転ルッツにアタックして1度は何とか着氷したが、「構成を大きく変える予定はない」とした。「思い返してみたら、ボクは難しいジャンプを跳ぶタイプじゃなかった。きれいなジャンプを跳んで表現もしっかりしてスピンも取って、全部でプログラムを作るタイプのスケーター」。確固とした自己分析があるからこそ、今は今季の構成の完成度を高める考えを持つ。
世界選手権では羽生が金メダル、宇野が銀メダル。世界国別対抗ではSP1位が宇野、フリー1位が羽生だった。宇野の存在について問われた羽生は「何かしら言うと、すぐ何か言われるので、いつも難しいなと思う」と言葉を選びながら、「彼が頑張っていることを知っている1人。彼の頑張りが実を結んできて嬉しいと思う気持ちと、いろんなジャンプ、彼しか持っていない表現の仕方、体の動かし方とか、ボク自身も学んで、ボクの武器もさらに伸ばしていけたらな、と思う存在です」と話していた。
In the practice of the exhibition, he challenged 4Lz and could manage to land once, but he said "I'm not planning to make a drastic change in the layout." "Come to think about it, I'm not the type of skater doing difficult jumps. Doing beautiful jumps, giving good expressions, and taking good level in spins, I'm a type of skater who makes up the program with all of these elements." With this solid analysis of himself, he now has an intention to improve the perfection of his layout of this season.
Hanyu won a gold medal in the Worlds, and Uno did a silver medal. In WTT, Uno was ranked 1st in SP and Hanyu was in 1st in FP. Hanyu, who was questioned about the existence of Uno, said, "If I say something, it would cause a sort of stir right away, so I always feel it difficult," and choosing words and said, "I'm one of those who know he is doing his best with hard work. I feel happy that his efforts are bearing fruits now, and at the same time, he is the person I want to learn from, such as his various jumps, the way of expression that only he can, how to move his body, etc. and I think I can extend my own weapons further by doing so.
