Some quotes from ISU
that last one 🤣

Kao Miura (JPN) 2023 ISU Four Continents Champion
Today was amazing because, just before I went on the ice, Keegan put on such an amazing program and the whole atmosphere was completely different and I was able to actually go with that flow. So he gave me a lot of energy by setting that wonderful program in front of me. And I was able to really skate well, I was happy about my components and everything I was able to do. I was able to make sure I had the right speed at certain times and also take it slow, or maybe relax, at some moments. I was really happy I was able to do that.

(on being on the podium together at Four Continents with his teammate)
Ever since we came here we were really psyched up and ready that we would go on the podium together. Shun put on such a wonderful free skating and I thought that I needed to make sure I could keep up with him. I had to step up to the occasion. Just around lunch today, Shun was telling me a year ago exactly he was undergoing surgery today, so I could really imagine how tough it must have been for him. But he never was demotivated - he persevered and worked hard and at the end he got his medal, so I think that's going to really give him a lot of energy and motivation throughout his long skating career. And I was really happy for him and I was happy for myself too because I have such a great rival and a friend on the ice together at this competition.

(on the effects of the altitude)
I don't really know why but compared to the free skating, the short program was tough for me. Regarding the free today, maybe because I had no mistakes and was going on a perfect pace, it really wasn't much different from the usual figure skating. But in the short program, it was just so tough - I had to push myself. Then with the dry air, my throat was so dry and I couldn't breathe at the end, and when I finished I was still in pain.

(on how he was energized for his free skate)
To begin with today, I forgot my costume! Thanks to help from everybody, I was able to get my costume in time so that gave me enough energy to begin with. The spectators were wonderful. Shun, Keegan and everybody was skating with great energy, creating great flow and atmosphere here. So all of that energy just accumulated inside me - I should say crystallized - but it just exploded in my performance!

(on being the youngest competitor in the event compared to Keegan Messing who is the oldest)
Keegan and I are 14 years difference, I think? I watched him as a little boy and I aspired to be like him in skating. Isn't it just amazing about this sport that we can be here together like this.

(on whether he is the Beauty or the Beast)
Today I think that Beauty did appear a little bit during my choreo(graphy), but I don't have any Beauty quality in me, so of course I am the Beast!

Congrats to Kao for coming off of a big senior win two weeks ago and then adapting both programs to Jrs and winning! His FS was the best he's performed it that I have seen.

The results were unexpected. I really thought Wesley would come through and also Nikolai but it was not to be.

Congrats to the medalists and all those who did well enough to earn more spots for next year's WC and having a good experience in their last junior event.
 
Happy birthday Kao! Hope he can keep building upon his successes from this past season! 🥳

I really enjoyed seeing him at Skate Canada and I hope I can see his dynamic skating again sometime soon! :love2:
 
Here are the Men of Team Japan for Grand Prix 2023 (multiple post):


Kao Miura was assigned to Skate Canada International, with a strong field, and to Grand Prix Espoo, like Shun Sato. I hope he will qualify for the Final!

I hope so too! I think his chances for qualifying are good.👍 In fact, I'm tempted to go to Skate Canada to cheer for him again! :cheer:
