Hanyu became the first skater to perform a quadruple axel in a competition

Russia (bbabo.net), - Two-time Olympic champion in figure skating Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu was the first in the world to jump an axel with 4.5 revolutions in official competitions.

Hanyu performed the most difficult and "expensive" (base mark - 12.5 points) jump in the free program at the Japanese Championships.

However, the 27-year-old Japanese failed to make the element clean and made gross mistakes on the road. However, before, none of the singles have even made such attempts at tournaments.

As a result, Hanyu received 211.05 points for hire and, with a total of 322.36 points, became the six-time champion of Japan. The second place was taken by Sema Uno (295.82), finishing the top three Yuma Kagiyama (292.41).
