Figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu holds flowers as he attends a ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China in Tokyo, Japan September 29, 2022. REUTERS/Issei Kato/File PhotoTOKYO, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Japan's Olympic gold-medal winning figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu announced his marriage late Friday, drawing congratulations from his fanbase, though some seemed sad that the photogenic 28-year-old would no longer be romantically available. Hanyu did not say who his partner was when declaring his new marital status on X, the social media messaging platform formerly as Twitter. There was a clear sense of loss in the reaction among many fans both in and outside Japan, as "Hanyu loss" became a fast trending hashtag on social media. "I'm taking Monday off due to 'Hanyu loss'," read on post on X, while another predicted many more fans would be doing the same.

CNN —American teenager Ilia Malinin landed the second ever quadruple axel in competition on Saturday without so much as a wobble. Malinin had become the first person ever to complete a quadruple axel in competition last month during the US International Figure Skating Classic, a lower-level event. But still, he was unsure whether to incorporate figure skating’s most difficult move into his free skate routine at Skate America.
