3A-3A sequence

Absolutely, provided the steps/hops he uses between the triple axels meet this year's requirements for a sequence. The description of the linking hops/steps has changed from time to time, AFAIR.

awesome to see. how much would that be worth under current rules, if he landed it clean as he appeared to do there?
 
Base value for a triple axel is currently 8.5.

8.5 + 8.5 = 17, times the sequence multiplier of 0.8, gives 13.6 points in base value if both jumps are called as rotated. (I had some doubt about the second one.)

Then if the judges are impressed enough to give an average GOE of, say +1, it would net 14.6.

A little better posture and absolutely no doubt about the rotation on the second jump, and +2 might be more likely, given the wow factor of that first huge jump and the fact of two such difficult jumps being combined..

Obviously if the second jump is called as underrotated or downgraded and the judges reflect that in the GOEs, the total value would be less.

The sequence multiplier is the real killer.

I think under the current scale of values with the current jump sequence rules, this sequence would only be worth doing for a skater who can do the sequence well (small risk of downgrade), can also do one consistent quad and wants to repeat it, but is not able to put a triple jump as the second jump in a true combination. And that's unlikely.

Otherwise, a skater who wants maximize his triple axel points by using it as one of his repeated jumps would be better off getting full base value for both of them by doing one solo and one with a toe loop on the end.
 
Still, he could do it in a minor competition where he didn't care whether he won or not, just to make the record books for being the first skater successfully to do this cool and innovative trick, and to rev up the audience.

Then in more important competitions he could do 3A, 3A+3T like all the others and score the extra points.
 
The first 2/3's of that was one of the best programs I've ever seen. Phenomenal.
 
The Japanese web site reported that Hanyu landed 4t, 3a combo in The Ice in Osaka.
Here's his 4T, 3T

People are saying that he has acquired wings!!! But I am also very much impressed with his progress in Basic skating. He is much more steady on foot and gliding in "Romeo and Juliet" program.

I have a very mixed feeling about his amazing progress as a die-hard Dai fan.
I am very happy with Yuzu, but I really want Dai to get back his quad too.

Good luck for both of them!!
 
I'm so glad to see that Yuzuru is doing very well and improve from last season.

He has been through so much this past months. His progress is totally amazing considering that his hometown was hit by the earth quake which cause Sendai's ice rink to closed and he has to travel more than 6 hours to and fro to practise. Can anyone confirm me if Sendai icerink is re-open already or not?

I think this Romeo and Juliet program he show is a part of his LP for upcoming season, the credit sohuld be given to his coach Nanami Abe for choosing music and choreograph the program that suit him so much!


Regarding to his 3A -3A , I think he just do it for show (off) not for competition, I have read somewhere that he said that he can also do 3A-3A-3A:biggrin:

Can't wait to see him in competition!
 
Amazing skater. This exhibition is really impressive! He is definitely someone to keep an eye on.
yeap I m an uber of his since he was at juniors and saw him live:) I hope he doesnt have to wait his turn with the judges like Kozuka did.
 
I've watched the satellite broadcast of The Ice (probably same with the Nagoya local version). When asked about the 3A sequence, Hanyu replied "can't show it in competitions though, I wanted to do something special for the last show (in Nagoya)." My guess of his jump layout is like this. I'm sure he's planning the 2 quad SP in near future. The first three jumps can be used for the training.

Wow at Yuzuru! The triple axel triple axel combination was surreal!

That quadruple triple combination was simply sublime! Looks like a potential World and Olympic Champion (or medalist)

Amazing!
 
That was awesome. I really like this kid. He has enough time to develop his finer points before the next Olympics.
 
Such a shame that this kind of move isn't worth attempting in competition under the current CoP. Brilliant.

And that Japanese Men's team is going to be insane. Nobunari Oda probably won't make the cut. They need to fix the rules, fast.
 
That is just amazing. His triple axel technique is just gorgeous.

But I do wonder whether Yuzuru can do such impressive jumps within the context of a full competitive program. I know he has problems with asthma and that really takes a beating to his stamina....
