Well, I posted last night that Hanyu was brilliant, but the post seems to have been removed.

The photo in today's thread is not very complimentary, to say the least, but he was excellent. Uno Shoma was very, very good, seriously impressive, but Hanyu was in another league. Can his ankles hold?

Two-time and reigning Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu returned from a long injury layoff to land two quadruple jumps and score a world-leading 111.31 points in his short program at the Japanese championships on Friday.

I have always found classifying scores in scating flawed and meaningless as the competion, the judges and everything are different. It is like one player scoring 7 goals in an obscure league and it being hailed as a world record by comparing with other renowned leagues.
