Yuzuru Hanyu: "technical development has reached a level that the human body cannot follow yet..."

The arc of Yuzuru Hanyu's 2015-2016 season (IN article by Wei Xiong): http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2016/05/06/176532664

Excerpt:

After the world championships in Boston, where Hanyu settled for second, the skater revealed the injury to the media, and then went to Canada for treatment. The pain stemmed from a damaged Lisfranc ligament, and he has to be off the ice for two months in order to recover.
"I think the reason (for the injury) lies in the way I train," the skater said in Boston. "It may come from the impact my foot receives over the years, and adding a quad toe in the second half of the program may impact not only the muscles but also the bones and ligaments."
With the field upping the ante, the risk of injury increases.
"I kind of feel that the technical development has reached a level that the human body cannot follow yet," Hanyu shared. "However, with further development of techniques, maybe we will find a way to reduce the impact to our bodies. Or maybe the wave (of increased difficulty) will calm down suddenly, like at the Vancouver Olympics. Every era has a trend."
