羽生 結弦 （Hiragana: はにゅう ゆづる Romaji: Hanyuu Yuzuru）
Yuzuru Hanyu is the 2014 and 2018 Olympic champion, 2014 and 2017 World champion, 2013–2016 GPF champion, 2015–2016 and 2019 World silver medalist, 2020 Four Continents champion, three-time Four Continents silver medalist (2011, 2013, 2017), two-time GPF silver medalist (2012, 2019), 2010 World Junior champion, 2009–2010 Junior GPF champion, and the 2012-2015 Japanese national champion.
He has broken 19 world records in his career. He was the first man to reach the 100-point barrier in the short program, the 200-point barrier in the free skate, and the 300-point barrier in the combined total. He holds the historical world records for the short program (112.72 - 2017 SCACI), long program (223.20 - 2017 Worlds), and combined total (330.43 - 2015 GPF). He holds the current world record for the short program (111.82 - 2020 4CC).
Yuzuru Hanyu was the youngest man to win an Olympic title since 1948 and the first man to win back to back Olympic gold medals since 1952. He broke the record for the largest margin between first and second place (37.48 points) at the 2015 GPF. He is also the first man to land a quadruple loop in competition (2016 Autumn Classic) as well as on the Grand Prix circuit (2016 NHK Trophy).
Yuzuru was born in Sendai, Miyagi and trained there until 2011. He lived through the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, an event that heavily influenced his life and skating. Yuzuru currently trains at the Toronto Cricket Club with coaches Brian Orser (1984 and 1988 Olympic silver medalist, 1987 World champion), Tracy Wilson (1988 Olympic bronze medalist), and Ghislain Briand. His programs are frequently choreographed by choreographers Shae-Lynn Bourne and Jeffrey Buttle.
