Print Edition
Yuzuru Hanyu will defend his figure skating title at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics after being named in the Japan team but will not compete until then, the Kyodo news agency reported yesterday.
The 23-year-old has been battling an ankle injury since November when he fell while attempting a quadruple lutz jump in practice and had to withdraw from the grand prix final in Nagoya earlier this month. He has not competed since and will miss the Four Continents championships next month in Chinese Taipei in order to make sure he is ready for the Winter Olympics, Japan Skating Federation director Yoshiko Kobayashi told Kyodo. 鈥淐onsidering the time we have until the Olympics, (the JFA) believes that he can make a comeback,鈥 Kobayashi said. 鈥淚 hope he drives the young athletes as Japan鈥檚 ace.鈥 Hanyu has resumed training but is not practising jumps just yet. Hanyu took gold at the Sochi Games in 2014 and is also the reigning world champion, which earned him selection for Japan鈥檚 Olympic team despite missing the national championships, which doubled as a qualifier, at the weekend. The Winter Olympics run from February 9-25.
