A big thanks to @ANA_travel_info for the perfect "#FLYUZU" image.
P.S. After careful verification, we can argue that even the quadruple lutz was actually completed on the first attempt. twitter.com/max_ambesi/sta…

In an ISU competition, Yuzuru Hanyu landed quadruple toeloop (4T), quadruple salchow (4S) and quadruple rittberger (4Lo) on the first attempt and quadruple lutz (4Lz) on the second.
What will happen with the unreleased quadruple axel (4A)?

A man on a mission to save figure skating is preparing to face one of the most difficult challenges of his glorious career.
Yuzuru Hanyu's aims for the upcoming NHK Trophy.
154
Predictions matter little.
The important thing is that Yuzuru Hanyu can achieve what are his real goals for this Olympic four-year period.
In any case, never underestimate Yuzuru Hanyu and also Ryoyu Kobayashi

Italy has officially applied to host the third stage of ISU Gran Prix 2021-22 in replacement of Cup of China.
The idea would be to host the event at the Palavela in Turin from 4 to 7 November.
It will be up to the ISU to decide on the allocation.

Three different 3A's entries/exits, but one common denominator:
GOE+6 = perfection
very good height and length
good take-off and landing
effortless
very difficult and creative entry
very good body position
element matches the music
Does anyone have doubts?
Not to forget…

For those who have doubts about the meaning of "effortless" in figure skating, in particular angolophones or similar, Hanyu Yuzuru illustrates the concept by performing a magnificent quadruple toeloop.
Directly from Sendai.
163
I would have preferred Yuzuru Hanyu, but Naomi Osaka is a more than worthy last torchbearer.
Anyway, that's fine

We are ready for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with the hope that the last torchbearer will be the one desired.
Waiting for Yuzuru Hanyu...

To the simple question "who will be the skaters to follow next season", the answer is even simpler.
Yuzuru Hanyu, who if not him!

YH - "I think quadruple axel is my last dream as a competitive skater. I will do my best to achieve it".
The goal is to become the only man in history who first completed two different quadruple jumps.
Only the one who can start from a triple axel of this quality can do it.

Yuzuru Hanyu, engaged in the first Dream on Ice show, confirmed that the first goal for the new season is to land the quadruple axel:
"I'm going to try my best to achieve my biggest dream".
The short program will be new but the musical choice has not yet been announced.
We'll see

In truth, he was selected for the fourth stage also in 2017 (NHK Trophy, Osaka), but due to an injury he was unable to compete.
A few months later, Yuzuru Hanyu won the second title of his glorious career.

With 32 days left for the opening ceremony, I think Yuzuru Hanyu's candidacy as the last torchbearer needs to be taken seriously.
Who more than him is a symbol of Olympic sport?
For the rest, his career achievements speak for themselves.

Interest in Yuzuru Hanyu's thesis grows day by day.
In the attached video, you can find lots of interesting information while waiting to read everything written by the Japanese champion.
This is the future and we hope that the present will soon be too.

Until 2022
4T+seq+3A = 14
Maybe after 2022
4T+seq+ 3A = 17.5
Furthermore, after 2022 there may be the possibility of adding another triple axel.
Unfortunately, too late.

Can anyone explain to me the true meaning of this proposal?
According to some nations at this time the integrity of the events would not be guaranteed?
It would be very interesting to have some clarification on this.
