りくりゅう【木原龍一物語】引退寸前のアルバイト生活…「靴をはけ！」で始まった運命の再起——徹子の部屋では語られなかった、りくとのキセキ【木原龍一大全③】 #五輪感動

This is 【Ryuichi Kihara Part ③】, following the path of Ryuichi Kihara from RikuRyu. Part 3 traces his toughest stretch after the PyeongChang Olympics: life on the edge, part-time jobs, a period when retirement crossed his mind, and the fateful restart that began with one line: “Ryuichi, put your skates on!” Even after two Olympics, his competitive life was far from stable. There was no next partner. There were injuries. And there was no clear future. In the middle of all that, Ryuichi Kihara quietly held his days together at a rink in Nagoya: working the rental skate desk, monitoring the ice, and even doing overnight duty. But that “behind-the-scenes time” became the foundation for the kindness and depth he carries today, and for the eve of RikuRyu’s birth. In this video, we follow in chronological order: the reality of his part-time work life, the kind of person people around him saw, the wavering heart of a man almost ready to walk away, and finally the fateful point where his path crossed with Riku Miura. What kind of cliff did the man who later reached the top of the world have to walk through? Once you know this part, RikuRyu’s gold looks completely different. 【Highlights / INDEX】 00:00 Opening｜Near retirement, part-time work life… Ryuichi Kihara’s hardest period 01:31 Chapter 8｜Years on the edge: the part-time work that carried the eve of RikuRyu 02:22 Starting backstage work at a Nagoya rink｜rental skate desk, ice monitoring, even overnight duty 03:03 No special treatment, even as an Olympian｜the reality of working as an ordinary staff member 03:42 The kindness people saw in Ryuichi Kihara｜his way with children and his coaching qualities 04:18 Facing the “reality of continuing in the sport”｜days spent living with uncertainty 04:58 Retirement crosses his mind｜a period of major inner doubt 05:28 Chapter 9｜The fateful line: “Put your skates on!” and the eve of RikuRyu starts moving 05:52 Bruno Marcotte’s words｜“Ryuichi, put your skates on!” 06:03 The trial with Riku Miura｜the moment he felt, “This could work” 06:22 From tryout to staying in the sport｜the decision on the eve of RikuRyu’s birth 06:44 “It took 10 years to get here”｜the weight of the long way around 07:16 Decision to go to Canada｜the restart that led into RikuRyu’s beginning 08:03 Part 3 summary｜the time when you could see the “backbone” of Ryuichi Kihara 09:00 Next preview｜meeting Riku Miura, the birth of RikuRyu, and then Olympic gold Next time, 【Ryuichi Kihara Part ④】 will be the final chapter.
