中井亜美、逆転で連覇 青木祐奈4位、住吉りをん6位―フィギュアGP
この日は朝から「緊張しっぱなし。怖かった」。経験したことのない気持ちに負けそうになったが、直前に母から「壁にぶち当たるくらい吹っ切れた方がいい」とのメッセージ。覚悟を決めた。
SPでほころびがあった冒頭のトリプルアクセル(3回転半ジャンプ)を決め、それまでのプレッシャーがうそのように自分を取り戻した。完璧な流れから後半の3回転ループに成功すると思わず拳を握り、最後のポーズを決めた後には込み上げるものがあった。「これほどいい演技ができ、怖さを乗り越えられたうれしさとともに、涙が出た」。
五輪の大舞台で感じたものとはまた違う難しさがあったという。それに打ち勝った中井は「次はSP、フリーともに完璧な演技で、目指すは1位」。一皮むけた様子だった。
