Yuzuru Hanyu, who is aiming to win the men's figure skating single for the first time in 94 years at the Beijing Olympics, made a mistake in the jump in the short program on the 8th and started in 8th place.

In the free on the 10th, it is expected that the difficulty of the composition will be increased and the rewind will be attempted, including the four-and-a-half-turn jump that no one has succeeded in the world that has revealed the challenge.

The difference with the top chain is 18.82

Hanyu failed the quadruple salchow scheduled at the beginning of the short program on the 8th, and although he summarized the performance after that, the score was only 95.15, which is 18.82 difference from the top American Nathan Chen. It is on.


The key to the free rewind in the second half is the four-and-a-half-turn jump.


Hanyu has revealed that he will challenge this big skill that no one has succeeded in the world at the top of the 10th, and if he succeeds only with the highest basic score, it will be a big score source.

In the 40-minute official practice held on the morning of the 9th, Hanyu repeatedly practiced a four-and-a-half-turn jump, and although it was not successful, he jumped a little short of rotation and landed on both feet. I showed the jump that I made and made me feel the expectation for tomorrow.



It is the composition of the announced performance of Hanyu.

[Hanyu free acting composition (planned)]

1: 4 Axel


2: 4


Axel 3: Triple Axel + 3 Loop


4: 3 Flip


5: Flying Foot Change Combination Spin


6: Step Sequence


7: 4 Toe Loop + 3 Toe Loop


8: 4 Toe Loop + Single Oiler + 3 Rotating Sarkor


9: Triple Axel


10: Choreo Sequence


11: Flying Foot Change Sit Spin


12: Foot Change Combination Spin

Hanyu jumps a quadruple salchow after the quadruple and a half jump scheduled at the beginning, and the following continuous jumps are a triple axel and a three-turn loop.


At the All Japan Championship in December last year, there was a triple Axel and a double toe loop, so if you jump a continuous jump with a triple Axel and a triple axel, the base point will rise by 3.6.


In addition, the following jump is changed from a 3-turn loop to a 3-turn flip, which is an addition of 0.4.



In the actual performance, it is not always the case that he will perform according to this composition table, but there is a good chance that Hanyu will challenge the composition that is more difficult than the All Japan Championship, aiming for a comeback, and expectations for tomorrow's performance will increase.
