「銀メダルの並びが美しすぎる！」鍵山優真が日本フィギュア史上最多の五輪メダリストに（海外の反応）

I know he didn’t get gold but he also never got a bronze. He will have a very aesthetically pleasing display of medals from the Olympics in his home.

金は逃したけど、逆に銅だけは一度もない。家に飾る五輪メダルの並び、めちゃくちゃ“見栄え”良いだろうな

Truthfully, I think a majority of my favorite Olympic figure skating performances (at least dating back to Yuna in 2014) come from those who got a silver medal.

正直、私の“歴代お気に入り五輪演技”って、2014年のユナ以降だと銀メダリストの方が多い気がする

That was such a beautiful skate from Yuna.

ユナのあの演技は本当に美しかった

Yuna was OGM in my heart

私の心の中ではユナが金メダリスト

Silver always no matter what happened and who were the gold and bronze

結局いつも銀。状況がどうで、金と銅が誰でも、結局いつも銀

Good for him, and good for Carolina! The most iconic coach and student duo!

ユウマにもカロにも良かった！コーチ×教え子の“絵になる最強コンビ”だよね

Is Caro his coach or choreographer? I knew his dad is also his coach

カロってコーチ？振付？お父さんもコーチなのは知ってたけど

She’s his coach

コーチだよ

Watching him lose this gold medal when his biggest competitor finally faltered in a free skate will hurt as a Yuma fan for a long time. Felt like his absolute best opportunity to become Olympic champion.

最大のライバルがFSで崩れたのに金を逃した…って状況、ユウマファンとしては当分引きずる。五輪王者になる“最大のチャンス”に見えたから

ikr, on one hand I’m so happy for Misha to also have this opportunity but on another, this

分かる…。ミーシャにチャンスが来たのは嬉しい。でも、でもさ…ってなる

The absolute gymnastics my emotions were going through between “oh no, he’s going to get bronze!” To “oh no, he’s going to get silver again!”

「やばい銅だ！」→「やばい、また銀だ！」の間で感情が大車輪してた

I thought of the same too, wondering “if only yuma didn’t mens….”

同じこと思った…「もしユウマが“男子”しなければ…」って

He’s struggled with his free all season. There was a Japanese interview where he basically said his father was pushing him to up his technical content to chase Ilia and his consistency kinda faltered because of it.

今季ずっとFSが安定しなかった。日本のインタビューで、父がイリアを追うために構成を上げるよう背中を押して、結果的に安定感が落ちた…みたいなこと言ってた

I know I just thought like a movie maybe this time it would just be his night and his free skate would be near flawless and then in the rare circumstances like we saw his best could capture gold when the clear favorite struggled. Could easily say the say for Adam and Shun who could’ve been the gold medal winner with just the “perfect” free. Still it was so nice he was able to repeat being the Olympic silver medalist.

分かってるんだけどさ、映画みたいに「今夜はユウマの日」って感じでFSほぼ完璧→本命が崩れて金、みたいなのを夢見ちゃった。アダムや駿だって“完璧なFS”なら金になれたわけだしね。それでも、五輪銀をまた取れたのは本当にすごい

I think it was Masakazu himself who said he regretted making the decision to push Yuma into that direction

その方向に押した判断を後悔してる、って正和さん本人が言ってた気がする

He seems to be a genuinely sweet & humble person 😍❤️

この人、本当に優しくて謙虚そうなんだよな…

Absolutely loved Kagiyama’s short program. Free skating wasn’t that great this time but I’m happy for him. Felt really bad for Cha Junhwan though. He slid off the podium at 4th place when his Free skating choreography and execution was perhaps the best (Mikhail’s jumps not counting).

鍵山のSPは大好き。FSは今回はそこまででもなかったけど、それでも嬉しいよ。あとチャ・ジュンファンが4位で表彰台逃したのが辛い。ミハイルのジャンプを別枠にするなら、FSは振付も実行も一番良かったと思う

Him finally beating ilia and STILL BEING SILVER really affirmed for me he is the most bridesmaid skater ever

ついにイリアに勝ったのに、それでも銀。これで確信した、“史上最高の花嫁介添人（＝いつも2位）”だって

He is the spiritual successor of Shoma

昌磨の魂の後継者だな

Yuma Kagiyama, the silver quad god.

(don’t mind me, just trying to cope with bad humor lol)

鍵山優真、銀の四回転神。…ごめん、しょーもない冗談でメンタル保ってるだけw

Yuma and second place, the best “couple”, heh. He was on exactly that position so many times – and again, even in such unusual situation. I can imagine what he is always feeling when he receives the x-th silver medal, but, maybe, he has already somehow got used to it… He will be remembered like a “Silver King” or similarly, for sure.

ユウマと2位って、もはや“名コンビ”だよね。何度もその位置にいて、今回みたいな珍しい状況でも結局そこに収まる。何度目かの銀を受け取る時の気持ち、想像するだけで…でももう慣れてしまったのかも。きっと「銀の王」みたいに記憶される

That’s Yuzuru Hanyu and no one will change that.

それは羽生結弦だ。誰にも覆せない

The problem is this is not even relevant because current figure skaters have a lot more opportunities to win medals

そもそも今の選手はメダル獲得のチャンスが多いから、この比較自体あまり意味がない

His sp in team event was perfect and flawless. But his FS was overscored:(

団体SPは完璧だった。でもFSは盛られすぎ…

Bro wasn’t supposed to be on the podium but oky🫣

正直、表彰台にいるタイプじゃなかったけど…まあ、うん…🫣

Yuma has surpassed his mentor Shoma as the king of silver medals!

ユウマ、師匠の昌磨を超えて“銀メダル王”になったな！
