What's more, in the 2018 Rostelecom Cup in Moscow. he couldn't even walk because of a problem with the ligament (韧带) in his right ankle. But he ended up winning the championship and then    6    (award) the gold medal.

Yuzuru has always trained hard    7    the suffering from asthma (哮喘). He bravely overcomes obstacles so he can dance on the ice and live life{o the fullest. From 2012 to 2021,I have been inspired by Yuzuru's spirit,    8    has helped me push forward no matter what.

After all, he succeeded against so much    10     (uncertain). So how could I not face my own problems?
