L'' alliievo Brian Orser, having established the world record in the short program, was not less in the longer segment of the race for second in the history of breaking the barrier of one hundred and ninety points. The provision of Hanyu, who tomorrow will turn nineteen, opened with a disastrous fall on an attempted quadruple salchow, but from then on it was simply amazing on each item, excluding the top end combo, already yesterday due to some heartache too. In the end, he completed a quadruple well and eight triple jumps, including two axel in the second half of the music, but most importantly, unlike previous appearances skated with energy from the first to the last second''. The Japanese national champion in office has recorded the highest technical score in history, reaching a stellar 102.03, and the delicate face of the components of the program is progressed by seven points to become the third man to go after Chan and Takahashi than ninety lengths.
In accordance with the results today, Hanyu has posed a serious threat to the qualification for the Olympics, although you will need to wait for the National Championships Saitama for the'' official.
'' The place of honor went to Canadian Patrick Chan, who, in turn, in the free program has expressed a level of excellence being preceded only eight-tenths of a point behind the winner. However, it emerged today with arrogance margin of Hanyu on the basis of the technical score, which could represent a'' secret weapon in view of upcoming events. Must, in fact, be remarked as the world champion, except for the three points left on the plate for a double instead of triple toe loop in combination with the quadruple toe loop, has not granted nothing while succumbing almost five points. Specifically, the presence of extremely weighs a triple axel in pinao in less than twenty-two of the race in Toronto.
The podium was completed by veteran Japanese Nobunari Oda, that has legitimized the position gained in the short program with a free quality, enhanced by a combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop and two triple axels to stun beauty. I just regret for the fall on the first attempt and four times the levels of the spins, but the fact that it had collected more than ninety points TES (technical element score) for the second time this season is the most important blglietto Card in view of the national championships.
The fourth place went to Tatsuki Machida, Japanese third in the race today returned to the ball after the debacle in the first part of the race.
