Hanyu landed two 3 axels, one in combination with 3toe-2toe but he doubled the loop and one of the lutzes.

Thanks! Are there any sites that have his long program up? I have been checking youtube and nothing so far.

Someone at the arena said that Hanyu's FS wasn't filmed by Fuji TV so we'll have to wait and see if any fan videos shot from the stands show up online eventually...

Wow, that long program is officially my favorite this season. Beautifully done and he'll be hard to beat if he hits, no matter what Chan does, imho.

It'll be interesting to see how high the quads will be scored in the sp... as we all know Plush and Joubert plan to do. They could be in the lead afterwards. I'm wondering now if Lysacek will take the risk? But I don't think so.... Oh, maybe Lambiel will try one?
