In the next season Yuzuru Hanyu could become the fourth male skater in history, but the first after the Second World War, to win at least 10 medals by adding the World Championships and Olympic Games
In the past only Böckl (AUT-11) Schäfer (AUT-12) Salchow (SWE-14) have succeeded

waiting to admire "Let's Go Crazy 2.0", our mind takes us back to Marseille, home of the 2016 Grand Prix final.
How can we forget the triple axel of the short program?
The true trademark of Let's Go Crazy

The Comeback of "Let's Go Crazy", the short program of the 2016-2017 season with the first quadruple rittberger in the history of figure skating.
We will see it again shortly at Stars On Ice Japan 2021
Not to forget (30/09/2016)...

Jumps, when well executed, are always wonderful, but figure skating is not just jumping.
"Someone" without jumping can still get the standing ovation and send us his message.
Only a champion can go from "Hana Wa Saku" to "Let me Entertain You" with such mastery and disarming ease

Yesterday an American journalist asked me the following question on my facebook page:
"Why do you focus so much on promoting Hanyu and not skating overall?"
It became forbidden to talk about Yuzuru Hanyu and nobody told me? What do you think about it?

The height of this 4A attempt is incredible as well as incredible to use the triple axel entry.
But there is one thing I cannot accept!
How is it possible that the value of this never executed element is only 12.5?
Something is not right
3Lz = 5,9 / 4Lz 11.5
3A = 8 / 4A = 12,5

During today's training (exhibition practice), Yuzuru Hanyu has attempted the quadruple axel several times.
The jump has not been completed and there have been falls, but the impression is that he is getting closer and closer.
Work in progress...

In all international competitions held from December 2014 until today, Yuzuru Hanyu has always been on the podium.

A 4S of stunning beauty, one of the best ever
+1 very good height and lenght
+1 good take-off and landing
+1 effortless
+1 very difficult and creative entry
+1 very good body position
+1 element matches the music
GOE+6 = perfection
for judges, 3 excluded, +5
What is missing?

As usual Yuzuru Hanyu skipped the first official practice of the World Team Trophy.
Probably he will be on the ice in the second practice which will begin at 08:30 cet.
For now, all as expected. We look forward to the afternoon session (15:30 in Osaka)

The whole analysis is fully shareable. I find this situation shameful and an affront to basic math.
But I ask myself another question.
Why can't the so-called "axel jump" of the short program be quadruple, but only double or triple?
Figure skating evolves, but not the rules. twitter.com/FedUpLys/statu…
