Hanyu stands firm to target gold


TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu was practicing at his home rink in northern Japan one Friday afternoon when the arena began to shake violently. Then the ice cracked.

It was March 11, 2011, and a magnitude 9.0 earthquake was striking off the coast of Miyagi, not far from the city of Sendai where Hanyu, then a high school student, lived and trained.
