Hanyu is 27 years old from Miyagi prefecture.
She won the first gold medal in a Japanese men's single at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
He won the men's single at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics for the first time in 66 years.
He participated in the Beijing Olympics for the first time in 94 years for a men's single to win the championship for the third time in a row.
In the second half of the free event held on the 10th, he challenged the quad accelerator, a four-and-a-half-turn jump that no one had succeeded in the world, which he had set as his biggest goal, and although he fell and did not succeed, it was international. It was certified as a four-and-a-half-turn jump at the official competition of the Skating Union.
After the match, he said, "I've worked harder. To be honest, I think I've worked harder than this. It may have been an unrewarding effort, but there were certainly many things that didn't go well from the shorts, but it didn't work. I have only done this, but this time, but I did my best. "
