Yuzuru Hanyu breaks world record, three-peats at Grand Prix Final

Yuzuru Hanyu broke his world record free skate and total scores for the second straight competition and became the first man to win three straight Grand Prix Finals in Barcelona on Saturday.

The Olympic champion landed three quadruple jumps and two triple Axels on Saturday. He scored 219.48 points for his free skate and 330.43 overall, both breaking his world records from NHK Trophy in Japan two weeks ago.

“I just want to do the perfect feeling,” Hanyu said. “I feel like score is score. My performance is my performance. That’s a difference, right?

“I’m really, really nervous, and I feel really heavy pressure today.
