He succeeded in landing four quadruple jumps and totaling 321.59 points, breaking the world record set by Hanyu himself.<\/p>\n<p>In the short program, Hanyu ended in fifth place (98.39 points), 10.66 points away from Javier Fern\u00e1ndez, who was competing for his third consecutive win in the Championships. But, in the free program, Hanyu made an amazing comeback by landing four quadruple jumps for the first time: quadruple loops, quadruple salchows, quadruple salchows\/triple toe loops, and quadruple toe loops. With a flawless performance, Hanyu scored a total of 223.20 points, beating his previous world record of 219.48 points. This competition was important for determining the qualifying countries for next year\u2019s Pyongyang 2018 Olympics, and Hanyu\u2019s win earned Japan three slots for male figure skaters.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-49980 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/hn02-jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hn02-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-49915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hn02-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hn02-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-49915'>\n\t\t\t\t(Source: Kyodo)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/news\/49980\/attachment\/%c2%83%c2%81%c2%83_%c2%83%c2%8b%c2%8cf%c2%82%c2%82e%c2%89h%c2%90%c2%b6'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hn03-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-49983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hn03-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hn03-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-49983'>\n\t\t\t\t(Source: Kyodo)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Waseda University congratulates Hanyu for his breathtaking performance.<\/p>\n<h4>Related links:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/en-news\/47274\">Waseda student Yuzuru Hanyu advances world record at 2016 Figure Skating Grand Prix Final<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yuzuru Hanyu, student at Waseda\u2019s e-School (Internet Degree Program), won gold medal at the World Figure Skati [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":49915,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,117],"tags":[174],"class_list":["post-49980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-topic","tag-sports-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49980"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49985,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49980\/revisions\/49985"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
