Kazuki Tomono

Kazuki's sauna article is a bit too technical for me, but the pictures are so nice! He really seems to be in his element at saunas 😄

I forgot to mention here, but he has a new picture on JSF's page, wearing his new sponsor's jacket!

Also, I saw this:

I'm sure Kazuki was incredibly honoured to talk to a former Hanshin Tigers player! I hope we get some updates regarding this talk.

A question I wonder if Kazuki will answer in one of his articles for Nonno or one of the other magazines he is in is about how he became the great person he is. While I don’t know him personally he seems like such a gentle man with a big heart, very emotional, dedicated, strong, friendly and funny. He has an honest face and eyes that are mysterious.

Haha Kazuki is way too modest for that! He would probably say you are exaggerating and being too kind 😄

2026 Worlds is scheduled for Prague. I guess the question is, will our favorites still be skating by then?

I think barring any tragedy, Kazuki will be skating by then, he said he will try to compete in the next Olympics in 2026, so he will probably still be skating in the Olympic season. After that, I don't know 😶‍🌫️

This shows that such panels and rules - as good the intention may be - can not be correct everytime. If they just keep that in mind.. it's okay. Talent and hard work will eventually "win".

【代打の神様対談〈上〉】友野一希「恐れ多い…」憧れ桧山進次郎氏と極意を語った - フィギュア : 日刊スポーツ・プレミアム

2022年3月、フィギュアスケート男子の友野一希（24＝上野芝スケートクラブ）は補欠から繰り上がり出場した世界選手権で、6位入賞と健闘しました。国際大会の繰り上げは、この時で5度目。2018年にも補欠から世界選手権5位入賞で翌年の日本の出場枠最大「3」獲得に貢献し、周囲から「代打の神様」と呼ばれるようになりました。その友野が「代打の神様」と聞き、真っ先に思い浮かべたのがプロ野球・元阪神タイガースの桧山進次郎氏（53＝日刊スポーツ評論家）。代打通算158安打はセ・リーグ2位、球団最多の記録となっています。このたび、シーズン本格化を前に幼少期から憧れた桧山氏との対談が実現。たっぷりと語り合っ...

Thanks! I'm glad that he's talking about his junior experience as I think a lot of people don't know about it, especially as many fans started following him just last season. The truth is Kazuki has experienced many difficulties in his career so far, battling with inconsistency and poor treatment from the fed. He was never considered a 'talent'. His grit and determination are simply incredible.

That's the article about his talk with the baseball player, it's a paid article too but it seems it was a really fun talk! Quite touching that he mentions seeing Hiyama-san on a parade as a child, and he was taken there by his grandmother. I bet Kazuki was really happy to have met one of his childhood heroes!
