Yuzuru Hanyu, Rika Kihira, Shoma Uno, and more have been confirmed to take part in the 2020-2021 Japanese National Figure Skating Championships in Nagano from December 25 to 28.
In late November, the pairs event was canceled due to the only entry – Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara – facing difficulties traveling to Japan from their training site in Canada.
The defending champions are Shoma Uno (men’s event), Rika Kihira (ladies’ event), and Misato Komatsubara / Tim Koleto (ice dance). Two-time Olympic and World champion Yuzuru Hanyu was second last year.
