BEIJING -- Figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu's quest for gold at three consecutive Olympics suffered a huge setback Tuesday, as the Japanese superstar placed eighth in the short program of the men's singles at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing.
Yuma Kagiyama led the Japanese contingent, finishing second with a personal best of 108.12, while Pyeongchang silver medalist Shoma Uno was third at 105.90. Uno's score was also a personal best, topping his previous high on Friday during the men's short program of the mixed team event.
