"GIFT" is, quite simply, by far the biggest and most important event in the very long history of figure skating.
Since last summer, a new era has begun.
P.S. Even just "Hope & Legacy" would have been enough for me.

Hanyu Yuzuru officially announced his retirement from competitions
Closed a long path made up of records and victories, another will open focused on spreading that art of skating that is no longer found in competitions
This is the beginning of something bigger
The show isn't over

On Saturday, December 7, 2019, Hanyu Yuzuru became the first skater to complete a 4Lo, a 4Lz and at least one other quadruple in the same program.
Exactly three years have passed since that day and too many things have changed
Today as then, Happy Birthday Yuzuru, the real GOAT

During today's practice session (youtube.com/watch?v=MY3dlx…), Yuzuru Hanyu performed a flawless 4Lo+3T combination.
The element has been included in the layout of Hope & Legacy.
This is a combination never completed in an international competition.

On April 1, 2017, exactly 5 years ago, figure skating reached the highest point of its history.
The perfect combination of technical omnipotence and artistic excellence was achieved on the ice of the Hartwall Arena.
Unfortunately, figure skating has changed negatively since then.
7
There are now a few hours to go to the "Prologue" Premiere.
The first images of the ice-rink inside the Pia Arena MM were leaked. The ice surface is 55x24 meters, suitable for skating competition programs.
A new program choreographed by Yuzuru Hanyu himself is also announced.
8
Yuzuru Hanyu and the noble art of the triple axel in its greatest expression ever.
There is nothing to add, the pictures speak clearly
9
I have reviewed the quadruple axel performed today by Yuzuru Hanyu several times. In my opinion, it is no less underrotated than other quad jumps performed today. The Q would have been the correct call.
We hope there will be other opportunities soon
10
"Prologue" beginning was literally incredible
One man show by Hanyu Yuzuru
1) Seimei
2) Change
3) Let's Go Crazy
4) Spartacus (SP 2004/2005)
5) Romeo + Juliet
So many tears
Stay tune...
11
Is there anyone who wants to add something?
Not bad this "another athlete" (bad quote)...
12
Quad god?
No thanks!
No flow, no transitions, mediocre skating skills, all jumps underrotated.
I'm sorry, but figure skating is something else.
13
The dream of millions of fans around the world will come true.
GIFT, Yuzuru Hanyu's show to be held on Sunday 26 at the Tokyo Dome, will be live streamed worldwide.

A big thank you to Hanyu Yuzuru from the audience of the real figure skating twitter.com/YUZURUofficial…

Yuzuru Hanyu for the seventh time in his eight entries won a World Championships medal.

Awesome!
18
It cannot be omitted that #YuzuruHanyu has won 2 individual Olympic titles which in the men's field has not happened since 1952.
Likewise it's impossible not to know that he is the only male skater to have won 4 consecutive GPFinals.
There are no justifications, It's all very sad
19
Exactly ten hours until the start of "GIFT", the biggest event in the long history of figure skating.
The only protagonist as well as the creator will be Hanyu Yuzuru, who will be supported as always by his large audience distributed all over the world.
Not to be missed!
20
After reaching 720.000 followers on youtube within a few weeks, Hanyu Yuzuru also lands on instagram (instagram.com/yuzuruofficial…) and twitter (twitter.com/YUZURUofficial_).

Saturday 7th December, the day of his 25°birthday, #YuzuruHanyu will try to achieve one of the greatest exploit of his glorious career. He will try to skate a 230 points free skate with the goal to win the GPFinal.
In the next 36 hours you won't be alone.
Never forget Helsinki!

Exactly ten years ago (19 October 2012), Hanyu Yuzuru set the first of his 19 world records by achieving 95.07 points in the Skate America SP.
17-year-old Hanyu masterfully skated Gary Moore's blues Parisienne Walkways.
It was Hanyu's first program choreographed by Jeffrey Buttle
25
Yuzuru Hanyu, first in the history of the Japanese National Championships, exceeded 200 points in free skate (215.83) and 300 points in total score (319.36).
The previous record was 297.80.
By now we have lost count of his records because they are too many
A real MASTERPIECE!!!
