Over 200 figure skating fans watched Yuzuru Hanyu's bid for Olympic immortality on Friday at NHK Fureai Hall in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward, which was hosting one of several public viewing events taking place around the capital.
All 235 seats in the hall were occupied and another 40 people had to stand in front of the special 8K screen set up near the entrance of the hall.
Hanyu leads the men's competition at the Pyeongchang Games ahead of Spain's Javier Fernandez and Shoma Uno, after claiming an Olympic-record score of 111.68 in the short program.
