Men's single Hanyu makes final adjustments
Yuzuru Hanyu started the final adjustment for about 30 minutes at the match venue from 2:00 pm before the free performance in the second half.
Hanyu made a move to show how well he was doing by landing quadruple jumps and continuous jumps that jumped in free performance one after another, and everyone in the world who has revealed that they will incorporate it into free performance has achieved it. I also worked on the practice of four and a half jumps that I did not do.
In the practice of playing Japanese songs used in free acting, in addition to jumping, I carefully checked the choreography and prepared for the actual performance.
[Highlights on the last day]
Men's single competing for the representative frame "3" of the Beijing Olympics.
The winner of this tournament will be nominated as the representative with the highest priority.
Yuzuru Hanyu who took the lead in the short program in the first half.
This tournament was the first match of the season due to an injury on his right ankle, but in the short program, he performed overwhelmingly, such as deciding three jumps without mistakes.
He took the lead with a point difference of nearly 10 points over Shoma Uno, who was in second place.
In the second half of the free, can the four-and-a-half-turn jump, which is expected to be challenged at the beginning of the performance, be successful for the first time in the world?
And it will be noticed whether it is possible to win the Olympic participation.
As for the pair, Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara have already been nominated as representatives of the Beijing Olympics based on the results of this season.
Only one pair, Shinyu Yuki and Shoya Ichihashi, will participate.
