Yuzuru Hanyu scored 107.12 points in the short program of the World Team Trophy.
For the sixth consecutive season, he scored more than 100 points in at least two international competition. Now the international competitions above 100 points amounts to 15.
More and more legend.
452
In the last fourteen international competitions (from september 2017 to april 2021) Yuzuru Hanyu's average points in the short program is 104.98.
In the international field, at least 104.98 points have been achieved on 19 occasions. Hanyu did it 13 times, the other skaters only 6

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?
454
In the last practice before WTT free skate, Yuzuru Hanyu
made two mistakes, but everything seemed under control
FS run-through
4Lo, 2S, 3A2T, 3Lo, 4T+3T, 4T(so), 3A1Eu2S
Right after the music, he made a great 4S in the same point on the ice.
He will skate at 12:36 cet
455
Yuzuru Hanyu scored 193.76 points in the FS of the World Team Trophy.
For the tenth time in his glorious career, his total score in an international competition exceeded 300 points.
In the FS, as in the morning run-through, 4S was missed.
However, the performance was very good
456
In all international competitions held from December 2014 until today, Yuzuru Hanyu has always been on the podium.
The streak of consecutive competitions in the top three is now 29 with 17 wins.
Also counting the National Championships, the total is 33 with 20 victories
457
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...
458
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
459
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?

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
461
The charming torch lights from the audience during Hanyu exhibition had not been previously planned.
It was a spontaneous initiative, which, second by second, involved more and more people.
Another incredible evidence of empathy between Yuzuru and the audience.
Something magical
462
It has long been clear that the human eye is not enough to evaluate the rotations of the jumps and much more because the margin of error is too high.
The future is inevitably called high technology applied to figure skating.
"Someone" explained this and more in a degree thesis
463
After 7 years Yuzuru Hanyu returns to Stars on Ice Japan.
The Tour includes 7 shows that will take place between Yokohama (April 22-25) and Hachinohe (28-30).
On Sunday 25th, it will be possible to follow the show on demand at a cost of 3,000 yen (23€)

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)...
⬇️
465
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
466
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
467
Yuzuru Hanyu is perfectly on the race to join the list of skaters who have won at least 3 medals in the men's individual competition of the Olympic Games.
In 25 editions only Grafström (4 with 3 wins) and Plushenko (3) have succeeded.
1/2
468
Considering that Japan has medal ambitions in the Team Event, Yuzuru Hanyu could also get 4 podiums in 3 editions of the Olympic Games.
Only Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have won at least 4 medals in 3 editions of the Olympic Games, 5 to be precise.
2/2
469
It is a matter of pride to know that the greatest ever shares some of our criticisms of the current Isu judging system and proposes solutions to solve troubles starting from the use of technology.
We have not been listened to, but we hope that things will be different for Hanyu
470
In 2021 we still have to read stupid and ignorant utterances like this one.
Unfortunately, the world is still full of hopeless underdeveloped people who deserve no respect and shouldn't have the right to speak.
This twitter profile is however well known and is the worst garbage
471
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.
isu.org/docman-documen…
472
I would like to know Yuzuru Hanyu's opinion on this proposal.
He will certainly agree, but why from 2022/23 and not from today?
in my opinion, mistakes need to be corrected immediately.
How can we forget the 2019 World Championships?
473
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.
474
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.

475
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.
