Yuzuru scored a total of 200.49, he is the first skater in history to land 3 quadruple jumps in the second half of a program. He is also the first skater to land a 4T+1Lo+3S in competition.
Verbatim translation of Yuzuru’s interview right after FP (WTT 2017):
“I have a lot of regret with regards to the result. I do have apologetic feelings to this programme and to Shae-Lynn who choreographed this programme, in that I could not pull together a good [perfect] performance at the very end [of the season].
But as for me, my attempt this time was to challenge two 4T in the second half, including the combination with 3S, so in that sense, I think I was able to gain something meaningful and new challenges towards the next season.”
“At the Worlds, I was really frustrated and I had a very strong feeling that I would definitely have to win the competition. So that sense of frustration exploded in the FP. But this time, I was just full of apologetic feelings, although I was told by my teammates as well as by all others that I shouldn’t say ‘I am sorry’. So today, I was able to do for my own sake what I really wanted to do, with all my might.”
“I trust he [Shoma] will do great, and in any case he has already got 1st in SP, so I hope he will do his own [free] performance in a lively manner.
Also, with regards to the whole team, everyone including ladies, dance, and pair has been trying to exert their best until their last drop, so I would like to cheer solidly to send them power.”
Another interview of Yuzuru analyzing its programs and its performances. Thank you again to everyone's fans who always come to the rescue of fans who do not speak Japanese. Arigatou Gozaimasu.

Q: Are there any sports apart from figure skating that you would like to challenge?
Y: I would like to try archery or kyudou (Japanese archery). I think the amount of concentration, mentality, and the the feeling of having to focus on one point on the target would be a very good learning experience. There is the letter 弓 (bow) in the 弦 of my name. That is one of the sports I would really like to try personally.
