When Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan crashed to the ice on a quadruple jump, it seemed that the gold medal had slipped from his grasp. He fell again on another jump, and his hopes dimmed further.
But Hanyu fought back to finish his program strong, a wise move because Patrick Chan of Canada had an even worse long program, stumbling on several jumps and shedding technical points all over the ice. So Hanyu, falls and all, ended up on top. The 19-year-old from Japan won the first men’s singles skating gold in his country’s history.
Chan, a three-time world champion and the favorite coming into the Games, finished second. Dennis Ten of Kazakhstan finished third. Ten, who now trains in Los Angeles with legendary American coach Frank Carroll, captured the first figuring skating medal for Kazakhstan.
Jason Brown of the United States had a chance, skating last, to grab a medal, but he faltered too and his jumps were not strong enough to make up points on the field. He finished ninth.
2:12 P.M.Ten Makes History Too
Kazakhstan got its first-ever medal in figure skating with Dennis Ten capturing the bronze.
Carpet is being unrolled, podium being set up, lights dimming, fans evacuating for overpriced Baltikas and hot dogs on sale in the Olympic Park.
