Before Olympic gold, Yuzuru Hanyu was a 16-year-old trapped in a collapsing rink when the 2011 earthquake hit his hometown of Sendai. What he built after that day became one of the most remarkable careers in sports history: two Olympic titles, world records, and performances that moved audiences far beyond the world of figure skating. Earthquake on the Ice is the first English biography of Hanyu, going past the medals to reveal the artist, survivor, and humanitarian behind the legend. Sports journalists from 137 countries ranked him among the greatest athletes of the last century, yet his bond with fans remained unlike any other skater’s.
For fans, skaters, and anyone who loves a comeback story, this is the definitive look at how tragedy shaped one of the sport’s most beloved careers. $0.99 on Kindle.
