Yuzuru Hanyu will be "100 percent" ready to defend his men's singles title at the Pyeongchang Olympics, his primary coach Brian Orser said Tuesday.
Speaking a day after confirming Hanyu would compete in the men's event after deciding to skip the team event, the Canadian also insisted the two-time world champion would not even need the quad lutz that he has decided to scratch from his program as he returns from an ankle injury.
"I can just say that in the last few weeks everything has been coming together and all of us have been very optimistic and he is training quite well," Orser told reporters at Gangneung Ice Arena.
