After skated two programs of high school in the NHK Trophy, the Olympic champion has found a way to outdo bordering on perfection in the first segment of the race of the Grand Prix final. The concept of perfection appears, however, concerning as it is not pi & ugrave; parameterised on opponents, but on himself.
In the great joy of the audience's disbelief CCIB (Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona) Barcelona, ​​Hanyu ripped Patrick Chan the world record on the components of the program reaching a resounding 49.14, which equates to an unreal average of 9.83 on each voice. Nell''occasione, got the beauty of twenty-two "ten": distributed between skating skills, choreography, interpretation and performance, item you & egrave; It revealed a genuine plebiscite that effect.
To give un''idea the dominance technical & egrave; suffciente remark that the first two elements presented, followed by a quadruple salchow moon and a combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop preceded by un''intricata sequence of steps, have obtained the highest possible rating (13:50 + 17.60). In general, only the degree of implementation has brought a dowry to the cause of the beauty of 24.36 points, that obviously does not boast unprecedented in history. The 'only reason for "regret" & egrave; linked to the sequence of steps, that & egrave; stop on level three, but that will represent & agrave; an important incentive "to improve" in the next round.
On balance, the short program choreographed by Jeffrey Buttle to the tune of "Chopin Ballade No.1" & egrave; became the first to break the threshold of one hundred and ten points, not to mention the more than sixty points on the technical side, yet another unprecedented occurrence. Essentially, Yuzuru Hanyu has undermined the cornerstones dell''attuale judging system, which in the future will go & agrave; riparametrato on the basis of its performance.
Leaving aside the cold numbers, the combination of technology and art, the ability & agrave; to be constantly on the note and the 'innate gift of knowing how to put herself in the music and in part as if it were dell''ultimo program skated in life have made the performance even more & ugrave; Incredible, testifying dell''unicit & agrave; of a character & egrave; gi & agrave; nell''olimpo of sports history, but seems determined to write more pages indelible no longer & ugrave; of history, but of legend.
On the sidelines, the 'student of Brian Orser has set the stage to become the first man to dominate in three consecutive finals of the Grand Prix, a feat never managed to big guns of the past like Plushenko and Yagudin.
In second position, supported dal''acceso cheering the winner, you & egrave; placed Spaniard Javier Fernandez, who has had the misfortune of skating right after training partner. The world champion in office, clearly influenced by the sensational performance of Hanyu, he landed with a step-out four times salchow and then completed barely a combination triple lutz / double toe loop. The second error for & ograve; raprpesentato a kind of "wake up" and the & Igrave; on the twenty-four madrile & ntilde; or has entered the high-speed performing better each element and enhancing his part the brilliant choreography designed dall''ormai trusted David Wilson to the tune of "Malaguena." A mention of 'honor goes to triple axel, by far the best of his career, and the assessment of the components of the program, the second in history only to those obtained by heavyweights like Hanyu and Patrick Chan.
The gap between the top two finishers & egrave; It was just under twenty points.
Afterwards, despite some heartache too nell''atterraggio combination quadruple lutz / triple toe loop is & egrave; attested the eighteen Chinese Boyang Jin, ahead by a narrow margin the same age as well & egrave; eternal rival Shoma Uno. The Japanese author of a proof of quality & agrave; sublime on six of the seven items presented, it paid duty because of a fall on the quadruple toe loop, however short rotation according to the panel.
There were reasons for satisfaction for Daisuke Murakami, the Japanese third in the race, able to touch the personal best, although the project has failed to perform complex combination triple lutz / triple Rittberger & agrave in the second half; of music.
The big loser of the day is named after Patrick Chan, the only athlete to have defeated Hanyu during the season. The Canadian, after having missed the 'appointment with the quadruple toe loop, must be replaced by a triple toe loop, he committed the' naivete & agrave; to perform a second triple toe loop in combination with a triple lutz seeing cancel the 'element due to the repetition of the same triple. The vice-Olympic champion finished the race segment with almost thirteen points behind Murakami and over forty from Hanyu.
