Shoma Uno (JPN) performs his free skate to Turandot at the 2018 Winter Olympics, earning 202.73 points in the free skate and 306.90 points total to win the silver medal at his first Olympic Games.
the man has made history yet again by winning the thousandth winter olympic gold medal – it’s the first time a skater has won the gold consecutively (2014, 2018) in 66 years, following dick button in 1948 and 1952.
this is also yuzuru’s first competition in 4 months following an injury that left him unable to skate until only a month ago.
yuzuru has also confirmed at the press conference that he is still recovering from his injury, yet he still went out and did what he did.
yuzuru hanyu has just, without a doubt, solidified his status as the greatest figure skater of all-time.
Everyone’s talking about Yuzuru defending his gold, Shoma finishing the Japan 1-2 sweep on the podium with his silver, Boyang’s marvelous effort, and Nathan’s amazing comeback free skate. Not saying that they’re not great, (THEY ARE!) but can we talk about Javi?
Javi, who did one too many triple salchow in Sochi 2014, missing the bronze by a little more than a point.
Javi, who channeled that heartache and frustration to fuel his determination, and won the world championships in 2015 and 2016.
Javi, who entered his third and final Olympics at age 26, an ‘old’ age for a skater, pitted against young, talented quadsters.
Javi, who was an entire nation’s only hope in figure skating, didn’t crack under the pressure, and gave it all he had.
Javi, who came from a country with only 17 ice rinks and has risen to the Olympics podium, with his bronze medal.
Javi, who reached his unreachable star and showed everyone there is no such thing as an impossible dream.
