Winter Olympics 2022 - Yuzuru Hanyu ‘shocked’, Nathan Chen ‘elated’ following dramatic short programme
Figure skating great Yuzuru Hanyu says he was totally “shocked” after a disastrous short programme at the Winter Olympics handed momentum to Nathan Chen — who took full advantage by setting a new world record. Japan’s reigning champion is considered by many to be the greatest skater of all time but delivered a routine full of errors — with one big mistake, during an attempt at a quadruple salchow. After, he blamed the mistake on a divot on the ice.
