Japan's Hanyu Wins Figure-Skating Gold 

　　　　

Yuzuru Hanyu won Japan's first Olympic gold medal in men's figure skating Friday, in a competition that showed how new countries are emerging as skating powers as the demands of the sport loop ever higher.

For the past 30 years, the podium in men's skating has been owned mostly by skaters from the U.S. and Russia. But neither country figured into the medals on Friday, and the stands at the Iceberg Skating Palace in Sochi were lined with Canadian, Japanese, and other flags along with those from Russia.

Patrick Chan of Canada won the silver medal, and Denis Ten of Kazakhstan emerged as the surprise winner of the bronze medal.

Hanyu and his rival for the gold, Chan, made mistakes in their free skates, both of which were packed with difficult jump combinations.

Hanyu fell on two jumps, but Chan stumbled on at least four and couldn't take advantage of the opening that Hanyu left him to grab gold.
