TOKYO: Defending Olympic figure skating gold medallist Yuzuru Hanyu said Thursday that a slow recovery from his injuries is preventing him from resuming practice, with less than two months until the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Hanyu has been off the ice for nearly five weeks on doctors’ orders to nurse his damaged right ankle ligaments, after injuring himself in practice on the eve of the NHK Trophy. Before the injury, he was seen as favourite to defend his 2014 Sochi crown in South Korea.
