Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu became the first repeat men's figure skating gold medalist in 66 years on Saturday in Pyeongchang.
After two dominant performances in the short and long programs, Hanyu then embraced the Olympic spirit by inviting countryman Shoma Uno, the silver medalist, and Spain's Javier Fernandez, the bronze medalist, onto his podium.
Both Uno and Fernandez seemed hesitant at first, but Hanyu insisted they join him.

After the event, Fernandez said Hanyu told him he wished they both could have won gold.
"I told him, 'Yes, Yuzu, but only one can be champion. Only one can have the gold medal," Fernandez said.
Even with the sole gold medal, Hanyu still embraced the spirit of the games. That's what the Olympics are all about.
