羽生結弦一冰上之星(2-1-上)　Yuzuru Hanyu- A star on ice

日本花式滑冰王子擄獲全世界的心Winning hearts around the world

二O一一年三月十一日,十六歲的羽生結弦在住家附近一處滑冰場滑冰；當時,他腳底下的冰卻開始裂開。

他親身經歷了二O一一年致命的「東日本大地震」,一場規模高達九點零、造成至少一萬八千五百人死亡的地震。

那時搖晃一停止,這名嚇壞了的年輕人便立刻逃離該棟建築。

幸好,羽生結弦及其家人都安然無恙；不過,311地震的鮮明記憶卻揮之不去。

該次災難也讓羽生更堅定地把握每一天；並以最華麗的方式信守對自己以及對全世界的承諾。

羽生結弦四歲開始接觸花式滑冰。

他在觀看姊姊滑冰時,姊姊的滑冰教練建議這個精力充沛市的小男孩也試試看。

他隨即愛上了這項運動,並在十歲時參加首場比賽。

十九歲時,羽生已經囊括兩屆奧運金牌；該成就亦讓他成為第一位在男子單人滑冰項目中獲得奧運冠軍的亞洲運手。

如今,有些人更認為羽生結弦是史上最優秀的花式滑冰選手！

On March 11, 2011, 16-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu was skating at a local rink when the ice beneath him began cracking. He was experiencing 2011's deadly Great East Japan Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.0 and killed at least 18,500 people. As soon as the shaking stopped, the terrified young man fled the building.

 Thankfully, neither Hanyu nor his family were hurt, but vivid memories of the earthquake still haunt him. The event also left him with a greater determination to make every day count. In splendid fashion, Hanyu has kept his promise to himself and the world.

 He was introduced to the world of figure skating at the age of 4. As he watched his sister skate, her coach suggested that the energetic little boy give skating a try. He loved the sport and entered his first competition at age 10. By the time he was 23, Hanyu had won two Olympic gold medals. This achievement made him the first Asian skater in the men's singles category to be an Olympic champion. Today some consider him the best figure skater in history!
