From February 9 – 23, the figure skating portion of the 2018 Winter Olympics will take place. Japan’s team is composed of Yuzuru Hanyu, Shoma Uno, Keiji Tanaka, Satoko Miyahara, Kaori Sakamoto, Miu Suzaki & Ryuichi Kihara, and Kana Muramoto & Chris Reed. On February 17, Yuzuru Hanyu won the men’s portion of the event, with Shoma Uno taking second. This is the first time Japan has ever won multiple medals in a single figure skating portion at the Olympics.
Yuzuru Hanyu won the men’s portion of the Winter Olympics with a total score of 317.85, a new Olympic record. His back to back Olympic wins make him the first man to achieve this feat since American Dick Button won the 1948 and 1952 Olympic titles. Two other men have achieved this as well, Sweden’s Gillis Grafstrom (1920, 1924, 1928) and Austria’s Karl Schafer (1932 and 1936). After taking three months off due to injury, Yuzuru came back to give Japan their first gold medal of these Olympics.
