This and That: 2021 Japanese Nationals (Yuzuru Hanyu, Kaori Sakamoto, Shoma Uno, Wakaba Higuchi)

This week, the best skaters in Japan reminded us why we love figure skating at the 2021-22 All-Japan Figure Skating Championships. Yuzuru Hanyu returned to competition with a quad axel attempt, Shoma Uno and Yuma Kagiyama performed as well as expected, and Kaori Sakamoto, Wakaba Higuchi and Mana Kawabe showed that the Russians aren't the only ladies who can perform up the snuff at the upcoming 2022 Olympic Games. Meanwhile, Shun Sato, Kazuki Tomono, Satoko Miyahara, Rino Matsuike, Mai Mihara, Marin Honda, Rinka Watanabe, Misato Komatsubara and Tim Koleto, and Kana Muramoto and Daisuke Takahashi gave us plenty to talk about. We break it all down on the latest edition of 'This and That'.
