00:04And now it's time for the reigning Olympic and GPF champion,
00:07he won the last 3 GPFs, he's going for his 4th consecutive title,
00:12he's the only one who went over 100 in the season and
00:15if you're interested, in the last run through he executed all of his jumping passes well.
00:24His program could be spectacular for an exhibition,
00:28with a music that fits him well and is engaging for the audience,
00:32“Let's go crazy” by Prince.
00:33I didn't say it before, he's Hanyu Yuzuru.
01:054Lo! Saved in an incredible way!!
01:10He is just laughing and then puts a spread eagle after that..
01:324S-3T!
01:36Astounding...
01:38Right on the note!
02:06And now here it comes the axel
02:08and it's what you were saying,
02:10here it is the back-counter...
02:133A!!!
02:14YOU CAN'T!
02:21The back-counter is one of the hardest steps in figure skating
02:30and that technical movement requires a superhuman control
02:33to be able to jump a 3A (still one of the most difficult jumps) afterwards.
02:42It's the easiest element in his SP, but that's another story..
03:30And welcome back on Planet Hanyu: population one, HIM alone!
03:34Some are trying to imitate him, but equaling the original is very hard.
03:38I'd like to review what he did to save that 4Lo
03:42Incredible
03:44He smiled, opened his arms and did a spread eagle...
03:48Y-yeah, I mean the take of was really really bad...
03:52but he... he completes everything and that's it.
03:56I don't how managed not to fall on his most difficult element right now..
04:01Ok, but you know what's the problem?
04:03He doesn't like it this way!
04:06Why? Because today there were two skaters who had a higher BV than him.
04:10He sees this, because Hanyu is someone who studies figure skating
04:14and is able to remember jump by jump what happened in Salt Lake City in 2002,
04:18and you'll see that he'll change something sooner or later.
04:21His obsession is called “4Lz”,
04:23if they can distract him he won't do it from now until Pyeongchang,
04:27IF they can distract him...
04:29Yeah he really flares up just thinking someone does more difficult jumps than him,
04:35well now he laughs...
04:37Anyway, a great performance overall,
04:39he proved he's in an excellent physical form as well
04:42because he skated with such big energy from start to end.
04:46And yesterday he struggled a little with the ice here in Marseille...
04:50a very soft ice and be warned,
04:51this could be one of the problems in the next Olympics,
04:54because figure skating and short track will be in the same venue in Korea
05:02and given what could happen in female short track competitions,
05:07Korea could take advantage of a softer ice which is not really “ideal” for figure skaters.
05:13No, you're right.
05:15Look, look how forward he lands, he completes the 4 rotations
05:18And LAUGHS! We don't see him from the front but he laughs and spreads his arms
05:23Yeah,
05:24then great speed and determination into this perfect 4S
05:31in combination with the 3T
05:33and naturalness he has in doing everything is incredible...
05:38everything he does he does it...
05:43With disarming aptitude.
05:45Exactly that's what I wanted to say,
05:46disarming for the others.
05:47Here it is, look the back-counter:
05:49back outside edge, forward outside edge.
05:51A highly complex step,
05:53it requires a big control of the body,
05:55you turn on one foot in the most difficult way possible and he does a 3A.
06:00Maybe watching at home someone could think
06:01it's harder to do a spread eagle-3A-spread eagle
06:05That is absolutely wrong.
06:07No, no this thing right here is more difficult.
06:10It's difficult to do it from a spread eagle too, like Uno does,
06:15maybe it's the second most difficult entry we see at the moment,
06:21but this is the hardest one for sure. It's impressive really.
06:27There's big satisfaction around,
06:29but we have to say Patrick Chan is still fully in the game.
06:31Here Hanyu will go over 100,
06:36let's see if it will be higher than 103.89.
06:39I think he can, but now the question is:
06:43who wins the PCS battle?
06:45This Hanyu or the Chan we saw earlier?
06:47Hanyu got 46.54 at NHK Trophy
06:51here he gets 47.35 and I'd say it's the highest.
06:54He wins the battle, 106.53.
06:577 competitions in history over 100 points,
07:006 of them are signed by Hanyu Yuzuru.
07:03He knows he can do more,
07:06he's thinking where he can be better,
07:09obviously the mistake he did today
07:10but c'mon... None of the others ever got 106.53.
07:13The best one reached 102.54 (Fernandez).
07:19And he went beyond 100 many times now, with consistency
07:24The numbers speak for him..
07:29So, Hanyu Yuzuru leads with a 7 points gap from Patrick Chan,
07:33the Canadian defeated Hanyu in his home event Skate Canada;
07:38Fernandez into 3rd with a 15 points gap from Hanyu
07:42but well, in comparison to last season the gap is smaller..
07:46Here's a look at some moments from today's protagonists
07:49Let's say this first day ends with a bang,
07:53with a stellar program by Hanyu Yuzuru
07:57it was to be expected after this morning's run through,
08:01but in competition everything changes
08:03and you've got to have the skills to hold on under pressure and perform like that
08:08and an Olympic champion doesn't lack these skills
08:11That's right, here we see the highly complex landing on the 4Lo
08:15but then he was perfect on everything else, spins included.
08:19I'd say Yuzuru started to put his hands on his 4th consecutive title,
08:24but the competition isn't over yet.
08:29See you tomorrow, this is all from first GPF competition day.
