21-year-old Cha Jun-hwan's acting was full of energy.
The main weapon, the quadruple jump quadruple, started off neatly and cleanly.
Here, I got 3.72 points.
The triple lutz-triple loop combination jump did not wobble.
Then, the final jump, the triple axel, was flawless.
Gaining confidence, Cha Jun-hwan showed a dynamic spin and received the highest level of difficulty, Level 4, and when he finished the performance of 2 minutes and 50 seconds with a flashy gesture, a lot of applause poured in.
When the score of 98.96 was announced, Cha Jun-hwan, who could not hide his joy with coach Orser, overtook Japan's Tomono Kazuki to take first place out of 17.
He also broke his personal best score of 1.63 points in this competition in 2019.
