Hanyu was spot-on in his routine to music by Chopin, nailing a quad Salchow, triple Axel, and quad toe-triple toe. The defending champion earned no less than +2 grades of execution (GOE) on all elements, placing first with 111.68 points.
“I just felt happy to skate,” said the two-time World champion of his performance. “I just felt satisfied with my every element. I am really happy because I was really feeling the music too, and the ice. I am very satisfied with my performance today, but I still have tomorrow, so I will do my best tomorrow.”
The 23-year-old is coming off an injury and says he is doing his best.
“I wanted to say to everyone that I am back here,” said Hanyu. “Very happy that there are a lot in the audience, but I couldn’t perform for the last three months, so I am very happy to be back.”
