Figure skater Roshi Nakata shed tears as he reacted to the new rules. The 17-year-old, who has won two consecutive World Junior Championships, competed in the free skate at his senior debut, the Kinoshita Group Cup, but he made a series of mistakes, including a quadruple toe loop that turned into a double. His score was much lower than expected, and he finished 7th in the free skate and 5th overall.

Nakata, who was the SP leader in the figure skating competition, had points deducted from a double toe loop due to a mistake in landing a quadruple toe loop. He tried the same jump again in an attempt to recover, but this season's rule changes limited him to three similar jumps, and his fourth jump was invalidated. He shed tears of frustration in his first international senior match and vowed revenge at the world championships.
