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

"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.

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
5
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!

The best quadruple lutz i've ever seen!
#YuzuruHanyu FS warm-up
#GPFigure
7
Really deep outside edge, perfect take-off, great height, wide lenght, textbook body position and very good landing.
This is a real and effortless Lutz, this is an awesome Quadruple Lutz.
Ladies & Gentlemen: #YuzuruHanyu

What's Next?

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
9
Yuzuru Hanyu and the noble art of the triple axel in its greatest expression ever.
There is nothing to add, the pictures speak clearly
10
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.
11
Another 3A of stunning beauty and great difficulty
+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

12
Yuzuru Hanyu for the seventh time in his eight entries won a World Championships medal.
After the Second World War, only the German Jan Hoffmann won seven medals.
13
#YuzuruHanyu has finally won the Four Continents Championships becoming the first men's single skater to win everything available in the junior and senior categories.
Nine years have passed since the first podium in #4ContFigure
Another record day for the biggest ever #GOAT
14
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.
15
#4CC2020 - Short program
One of the best "Chopin" in the glorious history of #YuzuruHanyu
This is the new world record under the new rules
In my opinion, 4S(+5), 4T+3T(+5), x3A(+5)
111.82 (63.42|48.40)
#outstanding
16
In the last 21 international competitions in which he competed #YuzuruHanyu's worst result is the third place in the 2017 WTT. For the rest, when he didn't win he finished second. Not to forget, 21 podiums in a row (12 victories) and it's not over yet. #Goat without ifs and buts
17
In the first practice session, #YuzuruHanyu has landed four different quadruple jumps.
To the usual toeloop, salchow and rittberger, he also added the lutz.
Good feeling with the ice and good overall impression
In the order 4S, 4Lo, 4Lz, 4T+3T
#GPF2019
18
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!!!
19
In the Helsinki free skate, #YuzuruHanyu intends to attempt a 4T+3A sequence (base value 14, with bonus 15,4).
The execution in training is worth more than 20 points (GOE+5).
#gpfigure #羽生結弦
20
For the third time in his glorious career, Yuzuru Hanyu has won a short program in the World Championships.
He was the best on the technical score and on the program components.
Unfortunately, he was underestimated in the goe of several elements.
Today's SP was worth at least 110
21
#YuzuruHanyu - 4Salchow - SP #aci2018 #羽生結弦
1)very good height and length
2)good take-off and landing
3)effortless throughout
4)steps before the jump, unexpected or creative entry
5)very good body position from take-off to landing
6)element matches the music
What is missing?
22
For the sixth time in his glorious career, Yuzuru Hanyu has won the Japanese National Championships.
He was also the best in free skate.
4A (two ft), 4S, 3A+2T, 3Lo, x4T+3T, x4T+eu+3S, 3A
4A apart, everything was ok
Another Masterpiece!
23
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.

The quadruple axel is coming. Stay tuned!
For now, triple axel with great height
#YuzuruHanyu #4A #roadto4A #羽生結弦
25
At the end of the Friday practice session, #YuzuruHanyu repeatedly attempted the quadruple axel.
In the last attempt, in my opinion, the quadruple axel has been rotated
