At age 19, Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu set the world record in the men's figure skating short program with a perfect performance at the Olympics.

No one had even scored more than 100 points in a short program. Hanyu got a 101.45.

The historic moment produced this tremendously endearing photo. When the score was announced, Hanyu celebrated with a double fist pump. His coach, Yoshiko Kobayashi, was genuinely startled.

She is awesome:
