Hanyu gets Japan first Men's Figure Skating Gold Medal

Yuzuru Hanyu became the first Japanese man to win the Olympic Figure Skating Gold Medal in Sochi on Friday, as the teenager also claimed Japan's first title of the 2014 Winter Games.

The 19-year-old from Sendai fell twice but took his first major title.

After setting a world record score in the short programme, Hanyu sealed his historic victory with his free skate to Nino Rota's "Romeo and Juliet" in front of a capacity crowd at the Iceberg Skating Palace.

Carrying a 3.93-point lead in from the short programme Hanyu scored 178.64 for the free skate, for an overall total of 280.09.
