If after the final of the Grand Prix of Barcelona could not see who could try to counteract Yuzuru Hanyu, something may be changed in the light of the outcome of the recent Four Continents, dominated by Denis Ten.
Tuesday 17 February 2015 17 minutes reading time
The conditional remains d & rsquo; obligation because & eacute; in the dispute does lack some variables related to the physical conditions of the protagonists, not to mention that the best Javier Fernandez could represent a formidable third wheel.
However, despite Ten has crumbled in Seoul on personal record by climbing to third place in the ranking all-time, l & rsquo; & egrave impression; that can not be the way the master of his destiny. L & rsquo; Kazakh athlete has, in fact, collected or almost as & eacute; the maximum available as currently & egrave; able to present, but the potential for Hanyu, supported by an adequate physical condition, appears much higher. Not & egrave; except that the Kazakh, with two perfect programs, can grow even on the components of the program and maybe make some small step forward on the GOE of some elements, but it seems difficult to go further 292/293 points, feedback that might not be enough to win the world title.
Analyzing what happened during the season is known as the difference in terms of the components of the program is minimal, with Javier Fernandez suffered a wheel. However, unlike Ten, not Hanyu & egrave; still managed to complete programs without significant errors, speech also valid for free to Fernandez.
PCS progrmma SHORT (best performance of the season) 44.75 - TEN (Four Continents) 44.42 - Hanyu (Cup of China) 44.15 & ndash; FERNANDEZ (Rostelecom Cup)
PCS FREE PROGRAMME (best performance of the season) 91.78 & ndash; Hanyu (Finale Grand Prix) 91,40 & ndash; TEN (Four Continents) 89.14 & ndash; FERNANDEZ (European Championship)
Also in terms of the technical score achieved, the difference between Ten and Hanyu & egrave; minimum, while the scissor to Fernandez tends to widen.
TES SHORT PROGRAM (best performance of the season) 52.86 & ndash; TEN (Four Continents) 51.11 & ndash; Hanyu (Finale Grand Prix) 49.77 & ndash; FERNANDEZ (Rostelecom Cup)
TES FREE PROGRAMME (best performance of the season) 103.30 & ndash; Hanyu (Finale Grand Prix) 100.45 & ndash; TEN (Four Continents) 89.14 & ndash; FERNANDEZ (European Championship)
The game is played clearly on the technical side, where Hanyu should have margin than Ten, especially in the segment pi & ugrave; long race. In fact, l & rsquo; simplified option of free program, for instance the one presented in the final of the Grand Prix won hands down, would, with spins and steps to four, a & ldquo; TES Base & rdquo; of 90.62 against the & rsquo; 86.29 Ten. The plan pi & ugrave; ambitious, with a second quadruple toe loop to replace a triple lutz, is forecast, however, for a stellar 95,35. As for Fernandez, the & ldquo; TES Base & rdquo; amounts to 90 points.
The differences are minimal in the short program, but also in this case Hanyu (TES base 44,36 or 44,51 reversing triple axel and quad toe loop) would have a slight edge starting on Ten (43.51) and Fernandez (43,25 ).
Translating all, Hanyu, even when tests with small barbs, & nbsp; not yet seem within reach of Ten, much less to Fernandez, understanding that for all run a perfect race is l & rsquo; exception and not the rule. If, however, the errors of the Japanese were repeated and some gravity & agrave ;, current rivals have concrete possibilities & agrave; of arrivargli front.
Denis Ten is presenter & agrave ;, however, the World Championships in Shanghai strong primacy of the season (289.46). For now Yuzuru Hanyu you & egrave; stopped for a little more & ugrave; of a point, below (288.16), while Javier Fernandez Rivaldi watch from afar (265.01).
