There is an active thread in the Kiss & Cry section but since this is major news... article in English: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports...ng/star-yuzuru-hanyu-pulls-nhk-trophy-injury/
OSAKA – World and Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu withdrew from the NHK Trophy on Friday afternoon due to an injured lateral ligament in his right ankle, the Japan Skating Federation announced.
...
... late in the afternoon word came that doctors had advised the Sendai native not to compete here.
“I am very sorry to have everyone worried,” Hanyu said in a statement issued by the JSF. “Doctors have worked hard on treating me since last night aiming to take part in the NHK Trophy. Unfortunately the doctors have made their final decision that I should not take part.
“I will focus on my treatment and work hard toward the nationals [Dec. 20-24],” Hanyu added.
