Yuzuru Hanyu wins Rostelecom Cup, hops on crutch to press conference

Yuzuru Hanyu won Rostelecom Cup by nearly 30 points, then hopped on a crutch backstage.

The double Olympic champion twisted his right ankle in hard practice fall Saturday morning, then several hours later had the highest-scoring free skate with three quadruple jumps. He is now questionable for the Grand Prix Final in three weeks — and a showdown with Olympic silver medalist Shoma Uno and, likely, world champion Nathan Chen according to The Associated Press.

“It really hurts,” Hanyu said, according to Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA.
