Yuzuru Hanyu achieved his fairy-tale ending at the Pyeongchang Olympics, winning another gold medal while enduring the pain of the serious ankle injury he suffered in November.
Everyone knew he was still hurt when he took to the ice in South Korea, but few were aware of how much pain he was still in.
The 23-year-old superstar shed light on his ordeal while speaking at a jam-packed Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in Tokyo on Tuesday, revealing his ankle was still far less than 100 percent when he competed on Feb. 16 and 17.
