My Take
Okay, figure skaters are basically wizards to me, and Yuma Kagiyama is one of the ones who makes it look almost rude how easy it is. This kid from Yokohama, born in 2003, hurls himself into quad jumps on a slab of ice and then lands with this open, slightly bashful grin like he just remembered people were watching. I love that contrast: the explosive, gravity-defying stuff followed by such a warm, boy-next-door face. It helps that skating's basically in his blood, with his dad having been a skater too, so the rink is practically his living room. He turned heads young on the biggest stages, and what gets me isn't just the technical fireworks, it's how much he seems to actually enjoy being out there. I just want him to stay healthy and keep glowing on the ice for years.
