Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[AnyaFei]

Just like Finlandia 2012

Even the resurfacing is done in a champion way in #helsinki2017 - Yuzuru wanted to help to fix the ice after his gala practice

How many watches has Yuzu received by now, anyway? It's like the go-to prize.

Hmmm, somewhat fewer than Pooh bears, I think...

Worlds 2017, Helsinki, Day Four: quad showdown and dance drama by Titanilla Bőd, Absolute Skating

The program of the day: "Hope and Legacy" by Yuzuru Hanyu

It's amazing how sometimes the title of a program, of a music piece, can reflect what's actually happening on the ice. "Hope and legacy", that's what Yuzuru Hanyu could rely on going into the free skate from fifth place. Hope that his talent and brilliance will shine once again, and legacy of what he has already achieved.

He was extremely focused as he took the ice. And the very first jump showed he was "on". Quad loop. Quad Salchow. Triple flip. Quad Salchow-triple toe. Quad toe. Triple Axel-double toe. Triple Axel-triple Salchow. Triple Lutz. This is just the jump layout and it's impressive enough, but Yuzuru's programs are never only about the jumps. It was kind of magic. With 223.20 points he set a new world record free skating score, but numbers can't express the smoothness and flow we witnessed.

Yuzuru finished with a just as focused face as he started. The competition was still open; five more men were yet to skate. But somehow we could sense it would be impossible to top this performance.

Yuzuru celebrated his victory yesterday by studying his short program instead of, you know, celebrating.

I would have died if Yuzuru had admitted playing Breath of the Wild. Maybe next year....haha.
