Olympic and world champion Yuzuru Hanyu qualified for the Grand Prix Final by the slimmest of margins with a fourth-place finish Nov. 29 in the NHK Trophy.
Hanyu struggled through his free skate, falling on a quad toe loop to end up with 229.80 points at Namihaya Dome in Osaka. It was just 0.15 more than the fifth-place skater ― enough for a place in the final in Barcelona set for Dec. 11-14. (The Japan Times)
