Chizuru: Next up is the reigning World Junior Champion, a Japanese skater you know pretty well.
Yutaka: Yes.
Chizuru: Here comes Yuzuru Hanyu. He is 16 years old, and this is his first senior championships.
Chizuru: He participated in two Grand Prix events and placed 4th in NHK Trophy and 7th in Rostelecom Cup.
Chizuru: He said his senior debut year has been very inspiring. Seeing Patrick Chan’s skating was especially a huge inspiration for him.
Yutaka: I know. Patrick is one of the fascinating skaters.
Chizuru: Indeed.
Chizuru: The music is “White Legend,” a transcribed version of Swan Lake.
Yutaka: Triple Axel. It was beautiful.
Yutaka: 3Lz-3T combination. The first jump looked slightly off-axis but he added the second jump with no problem.
Yutaka: His body is still very thin and so is his axis. It probably makes it easier for him to nail his jumps.
Chizuru: I see.
Yutaka: Triple Flip. It was a bit too close to the fence.
Chizuru: Yes it was!
Yutaka: Straight line step sequence.
Yutaka: Butterfly into Flying Camel Spin. He entered from a difficult position. He is very flexible for a man, so he can do a doughnut spin. It will surely be taken as a high level spin.
Chizuru: It was Yuzuru Hanyu, 16-year-old from Japan.
Yutaka: He skated very well, didn’t he?
Chizuru: Yes.
Yutaka: The Flip from connecting steps got too close to the fence so he might have been like “oops!” and unable to control his landing, but other than that, he did quite well.
Chizuru: This is his first 4CC.
Yutaka: He is strong.
Chizuru: Indeed.
Yutaka: A promising young skater.
Chizuru: Yes he is.
Nanami Abe: (To Hanyu) That was a good save.
Yutaka: This is his opening triple axel. He landed slightly on his back inside edge but I think this one is OK…
Yutaka: This first jump was slightly off axis but he regained his balance in his second jump.
Chizuru: Yes.
Yutaka: He is tenacious, isn’t he?
Chizuru: Yes.
Yutaka: Many skaters would change it to a double jump.
Chizuru: Yes.
Yutaka: But he hung on and managed to add a triple jump which had a straight axis. I think it’s amazing.
Yutaka: This is the jump he got too close to the fence.
Chizuru: Yes.
Yutaka: He’s trying to express his emotions. He’s a very sensitive skater. He’ll be a good skater through gaining experience at senior level.
Chizuru: He makes us look forward to his future.
Yuzuru Hanyu: (To the audience) Thank you so much!
Chizuru: Probably he himself wants to learn from everything to be a strong skater.
Yutaka: He surely does.
Chizuru: He placed 4th in Japanese Nationals.
Chizuru: His scores will be announced. It’s 76.43. He looks surprised. 40.76 (in TES) and 35.67 (in PCS). He is currently in 3rd place.
Yutaka: Good for him!
Chizuru: Daisuke Takahashi is currently in 1st place and Jeremy Abbott is in 2nd place. Yuzuru Hanyu is in 3rd place.
Chizuru: Shawn Sawyer was already in the spectator’s stand and watching the competition…
