Injured Hanyu returns to Japan for medical tests

YUZURU Hanyu returned to Japan yesterday, a day after a scary collision with another skater in warm-ups at the Cup of China left him with blood streaming across his face and neck.

Hanyu skipped yesterday’s exhibition in Shanghai to return to Japan where he will undergo tests. He was greeted by about 160 fans at Tokyo’s Narita Airport when he came out of the arrivals area in a wheelchair and wearing a mask. Hanyu was skating backward at a high speed during the warm-ups when he collided with defending champion Yan Han of China and went down hard on the ice. He lay for several seconds on his back before being helped up and receiving treatment from doctors.

The Olympic gold medalist received stitches on his head and chin before returning with gauze wrapped around his head to finish second in Saturday’s competition.
