Then came Rondo. Did you ever watch Rondo? Just the same clusters as other skaters, really? These words don't denigrate only Yuzuru Hanyu, they do it Patrick Chan too. And not only did they have more difficult steps and clusters than the rest, there was the "quality of execution" and that was the biggest difference...
Let's come back to Rondo, which was not only never seen for Yuzuru Hanyu himself in speed acquisition (I'm sorry, but your attempt at an argument about how avoiding Crossovers isn't difficult, does not do credit to your knowledge of Figure Skating; yes it's utterly difficult and only Yuzuru Hanyu could gain speed "magically", to take a word from Jenny Mast at an ISU seminar), which is the core of the subject in this thread, here we have the Step Sequence at the Olympic Games, and please tell me which other skater, in addition to the extreme difficulty of the rest, the effortlessness and the sensitivity, expressiveness, projection in interpretation, has four series of different Twizzles (not all top Ice Dancers have learned as many, and I think that only one team has Sit Twizzles?), two double, one triple (sat!) and a quintuple?
That was a new ground breaking:

This most difficult step sequence ever in men's, flawlessly executed by Yuzuru Hanyu who has some of the best SS in men's skating history, did not receive perfect GOE. Let's think about that after today's scoring. https://t.co/a8KRhzbi9f

(while actually skating to Prince, and later to Hisaishi), lol. Take Five was commentated upon as something never seen before? Very well. Otonal, Seimei, Chopin, Let's Go Crazy, Hope and Legacy - all were commentated upon by this or that commentator as something unprecedented and never seen before. Yuzuru himself was called by them unprecedented, lol.
