Olympic Champion Yuzuru Hanyu has an ankle injury...

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

It has now been announced that Yuzuru will not compete in the final GP event of the season, the Rostelecom Cup. Yuzuru says “Depending on the movement, I still feel pain, but it is starting to affect me less in my daily life”
