TOKYO: A figure skating showdown between Olympic gold medallist Yuzuru Hanyu and reigning world champion Nathan Chen is set to dominate next week's world championships in Saitama as the two face off for the first time in over a year.
Though juggling practice and classes as a Yale University freshman, the 19-year-old Chen became U.S. champion for the third straight year in January with a powerful free skate."I'm really excited for it. I'm going to start training as best as I can for it." Hanyu has another incentive - the arena in Saitama, just north of Tokyo, is where he won the first of his two world titles in 2014.
Olympic champion Alina Zagitova will be seeking to atone for the 2018 worlds when the 16-year-old fell three times in her free skate and finished fifth overall, the Russian's only loss of the 2017-2018 season. Kihira's season has also seen some wobbles, however, as foot problems saw her take just silver at the Japan nationals.
