Men¡¯s figure skating gold medalist Yuzuru Hanyu has already put his triumph at the Sochi Olympics behind him and while he¡¯s already looking ahead to the upcoming world championships, he isn¡¯t looking far enough into the future to consider the possibility of adding a second consecutive gold medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games just yet.

¡°I¡¯m very proud of what I achieved at Sochi,¡± Hanyu said during a news conference at a Tokyo hotel a few hours after the Japanese delegation¡¯s return from Russia. ¡°But I¡¯m not satisfied with my performance at all. I have a lot of room to improve my free program.¡±

Asked what he wants to do now, Hanyu answered, ¡°Nothing really. I just want to start practicing for the world championships. My next goal is to improve myself and perform well enough to deserve to be the Olympic champion.¡±
