The Other Hanyu
Everyone in the figure skating world knows who Yuzuru Hanyu is. He had been the best figure skater in the world before he retired and had won two Olympic gold medals. He still is considered one of the best figure skaters of all time. But there's a new Hanyu on the elite figure skating scene. Yuzuru's younger sister, Sakura Hanyu. Seventeen-year-old Sakura is about to debut as a senior skater after completely dominating the junior competition circuit. During her time in juniors, she was already skating at senior-level and was even more technically advanced than most senior skaters, as she had ultra-C elements. Because of this, she went straight into the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating in her first senior competition season and was given two Grand Prix assignments right away by the ISU and Japan's Skating Federation. She is about to make her senior debut at her first Grand Prix event.
