Repost from @olympicchannel @TopRankRepost #TopRankRepost Today marks seven years since the devastating 2011 Great Sendai #Earthquake of Japan 🇯🇵. Figure skater #YuzuruHanyu, then 16 years old, was training at his local rink in Sendai when the earthquake hit and he was forced to flee the collapsing rink, still wearing his skates. More than 15,000 people were killed and over 6000 severely injured in the disaster. Hanyu, now a double @olympics champion, performed an emotional tribute skate to the victims of the disaster at the #PyeongChang2018 figure skating gala. Click the link in the bio to find out more about his story.
