Figure skating: Yuzuru Hanyu says quad axel will help win 3rd Olympic gold
December 27, 2021

Yuzuru Hanyu said Monday he hopes a successful quadruple axel will help him claim a third straight Olympic gold medal, a night after he secured his place in the Beijing Games with a win at the national championships.

 

The 27-year-old returned from an eight-month absence from competition due to a right ankle injury by winning his second straight and sixth overall national title, scoring 322.36 in total at Saitama Super Arena.

 

Having under-rotated his quad axel during Sunday's free skate and turning it into a triple axel, Hanyu is eager to nail it at the biggest stage.

 

"The Olympics isn't a recital. It's a place you must win," he said during an online press conference. "For that reason, I'll be strongly determined."

 

"I'm hopeful I can prepare a program that sees a quad axel that earns an extra grade of execution points."
