GANGNEUNG, South Korea — They are waiting for Hanyu — the legions of Japanese figure-skating fans, from young girls who swoon with boy-band infatuation to elder generations who see in him the ideal son or grandson.

 

Quote

No athlete will take the Olympic stage shrouded in more mystery nor burdened by greater expectations than Hanyu, who has not competed since October after injuring ligaments in his right ankle during a practice for November’s NHK Trophy.

“In a sense, that was the very essence and fundamental starting point of how [Hanyu] is looked at in Japan,” explains Wakako Yuki, senior writer for the Asahi Shimbun, Japan’s largest newspaper. “His way of training, his way of trying to push himself forward came from the very thought that he should do something for the people through his sport. Of course, he skates for himself and for his family. But at the same time, he has been seen in Japan as somehow a symbolic athlete — representing hope for the future.”

“I want to show them the performance that makes them feel that it was worth the wait.”
