Some parts about Yuzuru:
....
From the diagram Yuzuru Hanyu demonstrates the best variety of transitions in the long program, along with many one footed skating transitions (three turns) as well using difficult turns (4 rockers and 2 counters). He uses the least quantity of crossovers, enough steps with good variety of different linking elements (2 Besties, 2 spread eagles, 2 Bauers, Pivot, loop and half axel). The variety of transitions is very good. Patrick Chan in his LP demonstrates enough quantity of one footed transitions (three turns), only 2 difficult ones (rocker and counter) small amount of crossovers. He is using all instruments of figure skating transitions (Besti, Spread eagle, 2 Lunges, Spiral, Waltz jump and 3 Hops ) the variety of transitions are very good.
....
The difficulty of transitions in Yuzuru Hanyu’s program is very good, skating transitions (steps) are changing with one footed transitions and other linking elements, accompanied by head, hands and body movements, changing the direction of movement all the time. Yuzuru executes transition in between elements: posing from the body movement transitions, 2 three turns with arms aloft, Mohawk, Besti on the outside edges and counter. The difficulty of the transitions is very good. All 8 jumping elements are executed from difficult and various entries, besides all these, 3F has difficult exit as well (change of edge, counter, three turn). Entries on the jumping elements differ and they are combined (with steps he is using one footed transitions and linking elements). For example entry on loop combo is (spread eagle-Bauer-three turn-three turn-three turn- change of edge) or a 4T entry (Besti-Chasse-Chotcaw-Three turn). Yuzuru executes 3A3T combo from combined entry which includes linking elements, 2 one footed transitions and 2 steps: Spread eagle, Rocker, three turn, Mohawk, Chasse). The quality of execution is very good. Hand, body, torso and head movements are matching the music.
....
Evaluating all the criteria’s for Transition/Linking footwork PCS (difficulty of transitions before element and between them, frequency , difficulty and variety) the most difficult program is executed by Yuzuru Hanyu, then comes Javier Fernandez and Patrick Chan.
Interesting note: After analyzing transitions in both, short and long programs: Yuzuru Hanyu is the only skater who executed all types of jumps, including quads and triple axels with different entries in both SP and LP. In both programs Yuzuru Hanyu jumped 4S, 4T and 3A from different and combined entries, along with high difficulty from various transitions before and in between all elements. This path is more risky but on the good side program looks as the one whole and jumping elements are looking like the part of choreography. This is all, thanks for the attention.

I'm expecting he'll make Ex of SEIMEI. This step is greatly requested!
