?Even Hurts to Walk?: Yuzuru Hanyu Gives a Heartbreaking Update on His Injury That Costed Him His Title at Beijing Winter Olympics 2022

People often only look at the achievements and glamor that the Olympics promise, but the amount of hard work and dedication it takes to be at that level is inexplicable. Yuzuru Hanyu has proved that when you perform at Olympics, the only thing that matters is your dream. Maybe he failed at that dream, but he gave his best to achieve it.

The two time Olympic champion has taken no decision on what he will do next. “If you ask me whether these were my last Games, I don’t know,” Hanyu said during an interview. The Japanese skater came fourth in the men’s figure skating short programme in Beijing Olympics and lost a chance to win his third consecutive Olympic gold.

Yuzuru Hanyu’s health update

It appears that the two-time Olympic champion was injured during the finals of the men’s figure skating short program. Nonetheless, he still attempted the most difficult jump in figure skating. He may have failed, but he didn’t hold back because of pain or injury.

During a press conference, Yuzuru said, “It even hurts to walk at the moment, I am receiving a lot of treatment and a lot of support and really want to share all my gratitude towards that support, thankyou.”?

The Japanese figure skater is the only person who has ever come closest to landing a perfect quad axel. While his best attempt was in the 2021 Japanese National Championship, Beijing Olympics was his second-best effort at the jump.

It’s his dream to land a perfect quad axel jump, and it’s likely that he might achieve his dream soon.
