Cha Jun-hwan received a total of 91.60 points in the men's single short program at the fourth ISU Senior Grand Prix 2025-2026 held at the Rock Tap Dome in Donghwa Pharmaceutical, Osaka, Japan on the 7th, combining 49.15 points in the technical score (TES) and 42.45 points in the art score (PCS). This is the third-place record after Yuma Kagiyama (98.58 points) and Shun Sato (96.68 points, Japan).
Cha Jun-hwan, who had a somewhat sluggish performance in the final eighth place in the second competition, showed good performance in the short circuit of this competition, raising expectations for the podium once again.
Cha completely jumped the quadruple salco, his first jump on the day, earning 3.05 points in performance (GOE). However, in the second task, the triple lutz-triple loop combination jump, the subsequent jump landing was unstable, and it was ruled underrotated (when the number of turns of the jump was short of 90 degrees or more and 180 degrees or less) and cut 1.18 points.
Cha Jun-hwan, who handled the flying Carmel spin to level 3, stably jumped the triple axel, a second-half jump task with an additional 10% points, and added 1.94 points. Since then, the change footspin, step sequence, and change foot combination spin have all jumped to level 4, the highest difficulty, to enhance the acting completeness.
