Two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu decided to divorce his wife after three months of marriage. The reason was the stalking of his wife by journalists and fans.
Kyodo quotes the athlete as saying:
When I thought about the future, I decided to divorce because I wanted my partner to be happy, to be happy without any restrictions.
The Japanese is a two-time Olympic champion, as well as a two-time winner of the world championship.
In 2022, the figure skater announced the end of his professional career. Russian figure skater Mark Kondratyuk called Hanyu the embodiment of art on ice.
