The free skating stage of the day was very important for Cha Junhuan's career. If you win a gold medal, you can enjoy military service and get rid of the burden of continuing your career. But Cha Jun-hwan is not greedy. In the short program, Cha Jun-hwan, who finished second after Kagiyama Yuma, did not add difficult jumps in order to improve his score, but participated in the free skate with the same program structure as usual.

Cha Jun-hwan said: "If you want a great result, I think that is not to go down the path of hard work. Although there were dangerous moments in today's performance, I felt like I got through it. "After returning from injury, we will try to improve the difficulty of the program and ensure that the game is played consistently."

Cha Jun-hwan, who has suffered a right ankle injury this season, was also in a dangerous situation during the day's performance. He failed to complete a ring jump in the first half of the triple. However, in the closing stages, he completed a series of combination jumps, and although the landing was a little unchoppy, it was judged that the spin was insufficient, but there was no big mistake. Cha Jun-hwan said, "Because I couldn't connect, the last jump was done with a combination jump. Thankfully, there weren't too many mistakes. ”
