Japanese star Hanyu out for 6 weeks after surgery
Print Edition
OLYMPIC and world champion Yuzuru Hanyu will remain off the ice for six weeks after undergoing surgery for abdominal pain, Japanese media reported yesterday.
The 20-year-old had the operation on Tuesday for what was diagnosed as a urachal remnant, which caused him intermittent abdominal pain, according to media, including Sports Nippon. He will remain hospitalized for two weeks, followed by a month-long period of rest, the Japan Skating Federation said. Two weeks ago, Hanyu comfortably defended his ISU Grand Prix Final title in Barcelona, but he was already feeling pain there, according to Sports Nippon. After returning home on December 16, he consulted a doctor and decided to have the surgery after winning the national championship last weekend.
The Sochi Olympic gold medalist will hope to recover in time to defend his world championship in March in Shanghai. In November, Hanyu was injured in a collision during a warm-up for the Cup of China in Shanghai. He was left bleeding from the head and needed stitches in his jaw after smashing into China’s Yan Han while both of them were skating backwards to wind up for jumps.
