As it was in the World Championships in Moscow in 2011, when the previous record established absolute, the Canadian champion was afforded the luxury of improving during the same race the limits of both programs.
At the moment, the only record'' not in possession of three-time world champion is that of TES (technical element score) of the short-program established by the Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu NHK Trophy in 2012 with 53.03 points. In this case, Chan has stopped in Paris at 52.34 points, a result in line with the 52.70 recorded in the last World Championships in London. So far, in the history of the discipline and how the first segment of the race is made up of seven elements, the only Hanyu and Chan have gone beyond the threshold of 52 points, while Denis Ten (50.81), Daisuke Takahashi (50, 41), Han Yan (50,25) and Tatuski Machida (50.08) exceeded 50 points.
On the PCS short program (program component score), the twenty-two'' still'' Toronto has lifted the rod up to 46.18. In this case, the comparison is even more striking because the'' current closest rival is Daisuke Takakahshi with 45.14. Besides, Chan (6 times) and Takahashi (3 times), no other skater was able to go over 44 points and, moreover, the barrier of 43 points was broken only by Yuzuru Hanyu (43,43) and Stehpane Lambiel (43,15).
The superiority of the world record holder, however, seems even more overwhelming esamindando the situation of the free program.
In the current season four athletes were added to the small group of athletes able to break the barrier of 240 points. The new entry is Tatsuki Machida, Han Yan, Jason Brown and Adam Rippon. If you look at the current season have reached the'' target even Patrick Chan, Daisuke Takahashi and Yuzuru Hanyu Nobunari Oda.
The skaters with a personal record over 250 points are, however, in all activities, but, at best, no more than ten of them, allowing the Japanese National Championships, will take part in the Olympic Games.
It should be noted as five of the top nine skaters are always flying the Japanese flag.
