[edit]

2015–2016 season: Debut of Suzaki/Kihara

[edit]

In June 2015, Japanese media reported that Kihara had teamed up with former single skaterMiu Suzaki, with whom he would continue to train with inMichigan.[8] In December, they received the bronze medal at theJapan Championships. They did not appear internationally in their first season together.

2016–2017 season

[edit]

After winning their first international medal (bronze) at theAsian Open Trophy in early August 2016 inManila, Suzaki/Kihara took silver at theJapan Championships in December. Ranked twelfth in the short program and fourteenth in the free skate, they finished thirteenth overall at the2017 Four Continents Championships, held in February inGangneung, South Korea.

2017–2018 season: Pyeongchang Olympics

In October 2018, Suzaki/Kihara placed tenth at the2018 CS Finlandia Trophy. They placed eighth at the2018 Grand Prix Helsinki, their first Grand Prix event of the season. They also placed eighth at the2018 NHK Trophy, their second assignment. They won a second national title at the2018–19 Japan Championships. Due to a concussion sustained by Kihara in training, the pair withdrew from the2019 Four Continents Championships and the home2019 World Championships inSaitama.[10] They announced the end of their partnership in early April 2019.[11]

Partnership with Riku Miura

[edit]

2019–2020 season: Debut of Miura/Kihara

[edit]

Following the end of his partnership with Suzaki, Kihara contemplated retiring from competitive figure skating until he was contacted by Canadian pair skating coach,Bruno Marcotte, who Kihara already knew due to having previously taken part in some of Marcotte's past training camps. Marcotte asked Kihara if he would be interested in having a pair skating skating tryout with his student and fellow Japanese pair skater,Riku Miura. Kihara agreed to it and following a successful tryout, he and Miura moved toOakville, Ontario, Canada to train at the Skate Oakville Skating Club fulltime under Marcotte,Meagan Duhamel, andBrian Shales.[1][12]

Miura/Kihara made their international competitive debut at2019 NHK Trophy, where they finished fifth.[13] They were the only pair competing at the2019–20 Japan Championships and had two falls in the short program.[14] The free skate proved more successful, allowing them to claim the Japanese national title and assignments to the ISU championships in the second half of the season.[15]

After an eighth-place finish at the2020 Four Continents Championships, Miura/Kihara were assigned to compete at theWorld Championships inMontreal, but the event was cancelled as a result of thecoronavirus pandemic.[16]

2020–2021 season

[edit]

Miura/Kihara was assigned to compete at the2020 Skate Canada International, but the event was cancelled due to the pandemic.[17] Making their season and Worlds debut at the2021 World Championships inStockholm, they placed tenth.[18] As Japan's only pair, they were named to the team for the2021 World Team Trophy. On April 8, he was named team captain. They finished third in both segments, helping Team Japan to the bronze medal.[19][20][21]

2021–2022 season: Beijing Olympics Team Event silver and World silver

[edit]

Miura/Kihara spent the period after the World Team Trophy training in Japan and the United States before returning to Canada in September upon the reopening of the borders. They began their season at the2021 CS Autumn Classic International, where they won both segments of competition and set new personal bests to take the gold medal overall.[22]

At their firstGrand Prix assignment of the season, the2021 Skate America, Miura/Kihara again scored new personal bests in both segments of competition, as well as overall. Despite placing third in both the short program and the free skate, due to shifting ordinals from their competitors, the team won the silver medal between Russian competitorsTarasova/Morozov in first andBoikova/Kozlovskii in third. Their medal marks the first medal for Japan in the pairs event on the Grand Prix circuitsince 2011.[23][24] Competing at the2021 NHK Trophy at home for their second event, they were third in both programs to take the bronze medal. They finished less than four points behind silver medalists Tarasova/Morozov, a gap more than accounted for by jump and throw errors by Miura. She noted training issues and expressed dissatisfaction that she had been unable to fix the problem but that they were nevertheless satisfied to have achieved their goal of winning a medal.[25] Miura/Kihara's results qualified them to theGrand Prix Final, but it was subsequently cancelled due to restrictions prompted by theOmicron variant.[26]

Due to the Omicron variant, Miura/Kihara did not travel to Japan to participate in the2021–22 Japan Championships but were instead named directly to theJapanese Olympic team. They began the2022 Winter Olympics as the Japanese entries in theOlympic team event. They placed fourth in the short program, securing seven points for the Japanese team.[27] Skating the free segment as well, they finished in second place there, taking nine points for the Japanese team, which went on to win the bronze medal. This was the first time that Japan had taken a medal in the team event, and Miura/Kihara's presence as a strong pair team was widely cited as the biggest factor in Japan's increased competitiveness.[28] In thepairs event, Miura doubled her triple jump attempt in the short program, as a result of which they placed eighth in the segment.[29] In the free skate, they finished fifth in the segment, rising to seventh place overall.[30]

Days after the Olympics concluded,Vladimir Putin ordered aninvasion of Ukraine, as a result of which theInternational Skating Union banned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from competing at the2022 World Championships. As well, theChinese Skating Association opted not to send athletes to compete inMontpellier. As those countries' athletes comprised the entirety of the top five pairs at the Olympics, this hugely impacted the field, and Miura/Kihara entered as medal favourites.[31] In the short program, Miura put a hand down after stepping out on their throw triple Lutz, but they finished third in the segment, taking a bronze small medal.[32] They had a rough free skate, with errors on both jumping passes and Miura falling on a throw triple loop. They also finished third in that segment but took the silver medal overall. They became the second Japanese pair team to win a World medal. Miura opined afterward, "now we secure the medal, but I don't think our performance was worth winning a medal today. We regret our performance today, so next season I want to push ourselves hard and to the very end, and we want to practice hard."[33] Their coach,Bruno Marcotte, countered that "I told them to look at their silver medals and think: 'This is the result of all the work you did, all the competitions, the year and a half that you had to stay in Canada, away from your families, because of COVID-19. These medals represent all of that.'"[34]

2022–2023 season: World, Grand Prix Final and Four Continents champions

[edit]

In July, Miura injured her left shoulder while skating in a Japanese ice show during the off-season, which kept the pair from significant training until September. Despite this, Miura/Kihara managed to win gold at their firstGrand Prix event, the2022 Skate Canada International, becoming the first Japanese pair team ever to do so.[35][36] Their free skate program earned praise fromSleeping at Last, the artist of the program's music.[37] Weeks later, they competed at their second assignment, the2022 NHK Trophy inSapporo, winning the short program with a new personal best score, nearly 14 points clear of AmericansChan/Howe in second.[38] They won the free skate by a wide margin, with only two minor errors, winning their second Grand Prix gold and becoming the first Japanese team to win Japan's home Grand Prix event. These results qualified them for theGrand Prix Final.[39][40]

Miura/Kihara entered the Final inTurin as the top-seeded team and won the short program over American reigningWorld championsKnierim/Frazier by a 0.43 point margin, with the latter team having a jump error.[41] They won the free skate by a similarly narrow 0.87 point margin after Miura doubled an intended triple toe loop and Kihara put his hand down on their triple Salchow. Kihara lamented the latter mistake, saying it was "the first time in eight years" that he had done so. He added that "we were saved by the power of the audience." They were the first Japanese pair to both medal at and win the Grand Prix Final.[42][43]

Miura/Kihara were next scheduled to compete at the2022–23 Japan Championships, but their travel from Canada to Japan was disrupted by the onset ofa major winter storm, which resulted in their luggage being lost. Because of their lost skates, they were unable to compete at the championship, though the federation said they would still be considered for international assignments in the second half of the season.[44]

Miura/Kihara at the2023 Four Continents Championships

With principal rivals Knierim/Frazier not attending the2023 Four Continents Championships in favour ofArt on Ice shows, Miura/Kihara entered the event as heavy favourites for the gold medal.[45] Miura fell on a downgraded triple toe jump attempt in the short program, but the team still won that segment by a margin of 2.80 points over CanadiansStellato/Deschamps. Miura attributed the mistake to nervousness, but said she was pleased that even with the error they had scored over 70 points.[46][47] Miura/Kihara won the free skate as well, albeit narrowly over Chan/Howe, with some jump errors and Kihara visibly struggling with low oxygen levels due to the high mountain location inColorado Springs. They won the gold medal, another first for a Japanese pair.[48][49]

The2023 World Championships were held on home ice inSaitama, with Miura/Kihara enters as one of the title favourites. They won the short program by a wide margin over Knierim/Frazier, clearing the 80-point threshold for the first time in their careers, which Miura described as "our goal for this season" afterward.[50] They finished second in the free skate, Miura having doubled a planned triple jump and fallen on a throw, but remained comfortably in first place overall and took the gold medal.[51] Miura/Kihara became the first Japanese World pairs champions, as well as the first team to complete the "grand slam" in pairs in almost a decade.[52][51]

Miura/Kihara joined Team Japan for the2023 World Team Trophy in Tokyo. They finished second in the short program after Miura had a difficult jump landing.[53] In the free skate, Miura doubled her planned triple jump, and they finished second in that segment as well. Team Japan won the bronze medal overall.[54]

2023–24 season: Injury and World silver medal

[edit]

Miura/Kihara started the year at the2023 CS Autumn Classic International, winning the silver medal.[55] However, Kihara began suffering from back pain in August, and he was soon diagnosed withlumbarspondylosis. As a result, the team withdrew from their assignments on theGrand Prix, and subsequently from the2023–24 Japan Championships.[56][57]

In December, the team decided to resume training with the goal of making the2024 Four Continents Championships inShanghai. They finished second in the short program after Miura doubled her jump and two-footed her throw landing, but having scored 65.61 points, Kihara said they had achieved their own target of hitting 65 points. Miura/Kihara were second in the free skate as well, despite another doubled jump and several other minor errors. They won the silver medal.[57]

At the2024 World Championships inMontreal, Miura/Kihara had minor errors on their throw and side-by-side jumps that saw them place second in that segment with a score of 73.53, 3.95 points behind leadersStellato-Dudek/Deschamps of Canada. In the free dance, Miura slightly underrotated a triple toe loop and doubled her planned side-by-side triple Salchow, but they were otherwise clean and finished first in the segment, 0.27 points ahead of Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps. Remaining second overall, they won the silver medal. Shortly following their performance, Kihara began hyperventilating and suffering from a sudden decrease in blood sugar. As a result, Miura/Kihara missed the initial medal ceremony due to Kihara requiring immediate medical attention.[58] After the competition, Kihara was diagnosed withexercise-induced asthma and eventually prescribed medication for the condition.[59][60]

During the2024 Paris Olympics, a medal ceremony was held for Miura/Kihara and their teammates from the2022 Olympic Figure Skating Team Event, where they were awarded their Olympic silver medals.[61]

2024–25 season: World and Four Continents champions

[edit]

Miura/Kihara started the season by competing at the2024 CS Lombardia Trophy. The pair placed second in the short program. However, during their free skate, Kihara slipped while dismounting Miura from a lift, causing him to fall on his back with Miura landing on top of him. The pair placed third in that segment of the competition and finished second overall behind Italian pair team,Sara Conti/Niccolò Macii.[62][63]

Going on to compete on the2024–25 Grand Prix series, the pair took gold at2024 Skate America.[62][64] “We are back to the Grand Prix after two years,” said Kihara, who was recently diagnosed with asthma. “We are very happy to be back and also it’s been a while since we won a competition, so we are very happy also about that! Our goal for this season is to get through the season without serious illness and injuries.”[64]

They would then go on to win silver at the2024 NHK Trophy behind Georgian pair team,Metelkina/Berulava.[65][66] After the event, Miura said they were happy out their free program as it earned one point more than at2024 Skate America.[66] During the event's gala exhibition, all members of the 2022 Olympic Team Event, including Miura/Kihara, were invited to center stage, wearing their Olympic costumes and Olympic medals, in celebration of their achievement.[67]

Miura/Kihara's Grand Prix results allowed them to qualify for the2024–25 Grand Prix Final inGrenoble, France.[68] At the Final, Miura/Kihara won the silver medal behindHase/Volodin of Germany.[69][70] “It’s been two years since we participated in the Final, so we’ve made some mistakes today,” said Kihara after the free skate. “It wasn’t good, but we were able to get 130 points, so I think that’s good. But we will learn from it and improve ourselves to aim for the Olympics.”[70]

Two weeks following the event, they won their second national title at the2024–25 Japan Championships.[71][72]

At the2025 Four Continents Championships inSeoul, Miura/Kihara won the short program with a clean skate. They went on to win the free skate as well, despite Miura struggling on both throw landings and singling an Axel jump, and won their second event title. Kihara reflected on the five years since their first appearance at Four Continents in the same arena, saying that at that time "we couldn't even picture ourselves being in this position. We had to overcome many challenges, and we were able to achieve these results."[73]

Going on to compete at the2025 World Championships inBoston, Massachusetts, United States the following month, Miura/Kihara skated a solid short program, winning the segment, less than two points ahead of the team in second place, Conti/Macii.[74] The pair went on to place second in the free skate segment behind Hase/Volodin due to Miura two-footing both pair throw landings, however their short program lead was enough to keep Miura/Kihara in first place overall, thus winning their second World title.[75][71][76] In an interview following the event, Miura shared, "There were small mistakes, but I’m very happy to be here and of course to win the second world title. The first title two years ago was just happiness, but in the last two years, we had very hard times, we had injury problems, we went through many emotions, and we also have many emotions right now. But still, in the end, we are still very happy."[77]

Selected to compete for Team Japan at the2025 World Team Trophy, Miura/Kihara won all segments of the pair's event, scoring personal bests in the process and aiding Team Japan in finishing second overall.[71][78] “We had a very hard season, especially in the first half, but because of that experience, we want to enjoy our Olympic year," said Kihara. "We are kind of thankful for the hard experience we went through.”[79]

2025–26 season: Milano Cortina Olympic Pairs champions, Olympic Team Event silver, and Grand Prix Final champions

[edit]

Miura/Kihara opened the season with a win at anISU Challenger Series at2025 CS Kinoshita Group Cup in September. They took the silver at2025 CS Nebelhorn Trophy a few weeks later. Together they won their fourthISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating gold at2025 Grand Prix de France.[80] "In our last competition, we had two mistakes in the second half of the program, and today we were able to land those two elements cleanly," Miura said after the free skate.[80]

The following month, Miura/Kihara won their second consecutiveSkate America title at2025 Skate America,[81] qualifying for the 2025-26Grand Prix Final. The team place second in the short program and first in the free skate. “We did end up making a small mistake, but I’m still very proud of ourselves for achieving scores in the 140s," said Miura after the free skate. "I think that is going to make way for more confidence in future competitions."[81]

Miura/Kihara competed at the2025–26 Grand Prix Final the following month, placing first in the short program. They finished second in the free skate with a new personal best score behind Germany'sHase andVolodin but won the event overall to take their secondGrand Prix Final title.[82] Miura said that she was happy to have won in her home country and added, "I couldn’t have finished the competition without the warm cheers of the audience. I’m grateful to everyone who always supports us."[82] Two weeks later, they went on to compete at the2025–26 Japan Championships. During the short program warm-up, Miura dislocated her shoulder. In spite of this, the pair went on to complete their short program, winning that segment of the competition but withdrawing before the free skate to focus on Miura's recovery.[83] Following the event, Miura/Kihara were officially named to the2026 Winter Olympic team.[84][85]

On 6 February, Miura/Kihara competed in the2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event where they placed first in the short program with a new personal best score. "We were able to show the results of our practice today, so I’m very happy," said Miura. "This is our second Olympics, and over the past four years we’ve had injuries, but those experiences made us stronger than before. We’re really proud of that!"[86] Two days later, they won the free skate segment with another personal best score, helping secure Team Japan an Olympic silver medal for a second consecutive time.[71]

On 15 February, Miura/Kihara competed in the short program in thePairs event. During their performance, the pair made an unexpected mistake on their group 5 Axel lift where Kihara put Miura down too early due to each of their timing being off. As a result, the lift only received a level 2 with negative grade of execution reflected in their scores. The mistake proved costly as Miura/Kihara were placed fifth, 6.90 points out of first.[87][88] "It wasn't a small mistake... It can't be helped," said Kihara following their performance. "There's nothing to do now but to face ahead. The competition isn't over yet. There are still things we have to do. I just don't understand why it happened, though." Miura added, "We just have to take things step by step. We made a mistake today. So we reset. We can do it if we believe that we can. We'll reset and do our best tomorrow."[89]

The following day, Miura/Kihara delivered a flawless free skate, achieving a personal best, and breaking the world record for a pairs free skate score that had previously been held byAnastasia Mishina andAleksandr Galliamov from the2022 European Championships.[90][91][92] With their combined total score, Miura/Kihara were able to move into first place, winning Japan's first ever pair skating gold medal. "I honestly have nothing but words of gratitude," Kihara expressed. "Yesterday, we thought a comeback was still possible. The encouragement of those words helped me turn my mindset forward. I'm truly thankful to everyone." He added, "I couldn't stop crying today. I was so frustrated, I couldn't sleep last night... I couldn't stop my tears since I arrived at the rink, even at practice, from warm-up. It was a feeling I didn't understand, something I never experienced before. But the messages I got from people, and our coach, lifted me up again... This is the place where we fight. There's no way we could give up at these Olympics. We told ourselves we would absolutely attack until the very end. I had been crying since morning, but unlike me, Riku was really strong today. Before the competition, I reset mentally and told the team I was okay." "In the past, I wouldn't have been able to be this strong," said Miura. "It's because of all the work we built together, and the support he's given me through every competition, that I was able to become strong at this event... Ryuichi's disappointment was really strong, so instead, I shifted into the role of supporting him. I didn't fall that much emotionally. We still had the free program, and in the team event, we were able to score 150. I kept thinking that if we skated without mistakes, we still had a chance."[93]
