If we narrow down the crucial moments of an athlete’s life, it’ll all come down to just a few minutes of his performance. Years and years of practice, hard work, and dedication are rewarded in those crucial moments. As a player, it’s really hard to back out from your moment of glory because all your life is about that moment.

The Japanese skater Yuzuru Hanyu was injured during his final performance, but he didn’t back out because it was Olympics. His devotion towards the game is unparalleled and once again he proved why he is called the legend of figure skating.

Yuzuru Hanyu would have withdrawn if it wasn’t Olympics

His love for the Olympics and figure skating is well evident from the fact that he values it more than his injury. Going into the finals, Yuzuru had sprained his leg, and he was in serious pain.

He said, “In the training session day before, my leg hurt so much, I wasn’t sure what I am going to do, but right before the competition I got an injection and I decided I would take part in the competition.”

Even with a serious injury, the champion performed the most difficult figure skating jump, nearly to perfection. By performing this courageous deed, the legend has set an example for every athlete to follow. “The Olympics is a special place, one of a kind. It’s a competition, a challenge, that you want to take on even if you’re hurt. I would have withdrawn if it wasn’t Olympics,” said Hanyu.

Hanyu’s dream remains incomplete

The 27-year-old figure skater landed in Beijing with a goal to win his third consecutive Olympic gold. However, his performance in the first round of figure skating men’s short program wasn’t up to the expectations.

He had to present something extraordinary for finals, and so he went with his lifelong dream of performing a perfect quad axel.

Sadly, the champion couldn’t achieve either of his dreams and finished in fourth place. Though he was highly applauded for his devoted effort in performing the most hard jump in figure skating.
