Japan's superstar skater Yuzuru Hanyu will fight for his third successive Olympic crown after winning his sixth national title and qualifying for the Beijing Olympic Winter Games on Sunday. The 27-year-old, competing in his first event in more than eight months, performed a long-awaited quadruple axel but landed with two feet.

12月26日,日本花滑名将、27岁的羽生结弦第6次获得全日锦标赛冠军,同时也拿到了北京冬奥会参赛资格,将向冬奥会3连冠发起冲击。此次全日锦标赛是羽生结弦8个多月来的首次亮相,他挑战了备受期待的4A跳(阿克塞尔四周半跳),但最后双脚落冰。
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief," he said of the quadruple axel, adding that landing with two feet is a result he can "accept at the moment". "I will continue the practicse," he said.
赛后羽生结弦表示:"说实在的,松了一口气。正式比赛时双脚落冰,我觉得现在可以接受。我会继续努力练习的。"
Asked if he would perform the quad axel again in Beijing, he simply said, "I will try my best."
关于是否会在北京冬奥会上挑战四周半跳,羽生表示会尽自己全力。
