The Japanese ace has comfortably repeated his success in the first segment of the race, but today & egrave; also taken the plunge to go a few tenths over the previous record held by the seasonal Kazakh Denis Ten (191.85 in the Four Continents Championships). & nbsp;
However, despite a stellar score, the test of non-Olympic champion & egrave; was perfect as the quadruple toe loop is planned & egrave; transformed into a triple, forcing him to perform a combination triple axel / double toe loop in the second half & agrave; music instead of & egrave; triple / triple. On balance, I missed all''appello over ten lengths that would allow him to become the first man in history can abbaterrare the barrier of 200 points. Hanyu, during an amazing interpretation of "Ghost at Opera" by Andrew Lloyd Webber, has performed a quadruple salchow regal and, as usual, has completed eight triple jumps including two axel and two lutz, condendo all with steps and spins level pi & ugrave; high available.
At this point, health permitting, will become the next frontier & agrave; to perform three quads in the free program, in line with what had been designed in the past summer. E '', in any case, evident as a Hanyu all''80% of the condition to be unplayable for competition, but remains curiosity & agrave; to see how far you can push expressing all''apice fitness.
In second place, with lots of crumbled national record, you & egrave; placed the American Jason Brown, who had the merit of containing detachment from contemporary Japanese nell''ordine of fifteen points. The 'student increasingly & ugrave; popular Kori Ade has approached perfection to its current technical knowledge by completing two double axel and eight triple jumps, including two axel and two lutz, without forgetting the best spinners of the race. To make the 'last step towards the' Olympus of discipline will become & agrave; now essential to add a quadruple jump, a sine qua non to aspire to world championship medals in the field.
The crowning of a triumph for athletes home, Takahito Mura finished in third place ahead by a narrow margin, at the end of a challenge to the sound of quad, Yan Han Chinese and the Russians Sergei Voronov and Maxim Kovtun.
Only two programs by the end of the competition, the United States, defending champions retain the leadership of the standings by a margin of four points on Japan and six on Russia, which, tomorrow could also groped the 'assault on the first position using the conclusion of the women's race and the one reserved for couples of art.
No chance of the podium, however, for Canada, China and France, now exceedingly lingered.
