TOKYO: Yuzuru Hanyu, the only man in more than 50 years to win back-to-back Olympic gold in figure skating, said on Tuesday that his condition is"100 percent" ahead of the world championships after months out of competition with an ankle injury.
It will also be his first face-off in roughly a year with U.S. skater Nathan Chen, who is the defending world champion and has had a strong season despite being a full-time student at Yale University."I can confidently say I am at 100 percent," he later told a news conference.
Chen, 19, told reporters during a teleconference on Friday that while he picked up an illness sweeping through his university, he was rested and ready for the challenge of defending his title.
