After an ankle injury, Yuzuru Hanyu drove his first race since April last weekend. The two-time Olympic champion made a strong impression. With the scores 111.31 for his short and 211.05 for his free freestyle, he was head and shoulders above the rest.
Ei so na, Hanyu made history in Saitama. The Ice Emperor attempted the first ever quadruple axel jump in competition. It became a triple, because he landed not on one, but on both feet.
What about the first at the Olympics? They will take place from 4 to 20 February in the Chinese capital Beijing.
