My thoughts on 4 rev

Yuzuru Hanyu, a figure skating player, succeeded in four-turn Lutz for the first time in about two years at the Grand Prix Final, free performance on the 7th. Hanyu's thoughts on the four-turn Lutz that he felt even fearful ...


Hanyu was the first to successfully incorporate the four-rotation lutz into his performance at the Grand Prix series in October in Ototoshi, Russia.

However, during the following NHK Cup official practice, he fell 4 revolution Lutz and injured his right ankle. Since then, he has not incorporated 4 revolution Lutz into his performance.

Hanyu, who achieved his second consecutive victory at the Pyongchang Olympics last summer, was a compilation of the songs he had used by Russian gold medalist Evgeni Plushenko when he was young. “The program can only be completed with a 4-turn lutz and a 4-turn accelerator”.

When the last season is finished without incorporating two types of jumps, the program is composed using the same song this season. In October, the Canadian tournament marked a personal best score with a composition that did not include Lutz, but had a strict self-assessment that the program was about 20% complete.

In the Grand Prix Final, the four-rotation Lutz was repeatedly iced in practice before the tournament, and the feat was incorporated freely. Free performance on the 7th, Hanyu decided the first four-turn loop neatly, took the posture to jump the four-turn rutz followed by a flowing slip, vividly icing from the steady jump of the axis, high workmanship point Won.

A mistake was made in the jump after this, and the victory was not reversed, but at the press conference after the match, “Last year, I was afraid to challenge Lutz. "I think it was the biggest for me, and finally I was able to get over the wall."

On top of that, Hanyu said, “I've got Lutz and the program has come to about 50%.” We will continue to refine our thoughtful program and aim for the top.
