Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara always remember to be grateful to those around them. Bruno Marcotte, their coach, has had a profound influence on them. Non-fiction writer Akiko Tamura's contribution shares Bruno Coach's insights on the strengths of the Rikuryu pair after the Olympics. Bruno Coach explains: "In pairs skating, it's not just about yourself; what your partner does affects your career. Trust means believing that each other will do what they're supposed to do. And it means being there for your partner, no matter what happens."
