3 . Figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, who won men’s singles Olympic gold medals in 2014 and 2018, said Tuesday he was retiring from competition.

He won the men’s singles gold at the Sochi Games in 2014 and again at the Pyeongchang Games in South Korea in 2018, becoming the first men’s skater to achieve consecutive (连续不断的) golds in the category since Dick Button in 1948 and 1952. At this year’s Winter Games in Beijing, he attempted to become the first man to complete a quadruple axel-4 rotations (旋转) in the air at the Olympics, a jump that he had previously come close to achieving in Japan. In Beijing, he came just short of completing the required rotations for the quadruple axel and fell on his rear, but he expressed satisfaction with his effort afterward and hinted he was ready to retire.

“In terms of how it feels for me, I don’t imagine it being all that different.” he said. “Of course, I feel strongly that I’d like to achieve success with the quadruple axel.”

Beyond his jumping ability, Hanyu’s gift for the dramatics and his gentle appearance made him popular among admirers. Some said he looked as if he had danced off the pages of a Japanese cartoon. They would throw Winnie the Pooh stuffed bears—reportedly his favorite cartoon character—on the ice after his performances. In China, crowds gathered outside the Beijing venue to express devotion to their favorite, and one Chinese follower on social media called Hanyu “the most beautiful icy fairy in my heart”.

In recent years, Hanyu has been suffering from injuries. He said he had constantly thought about retiring from competition since the 2018 Winter Games. “If we’re talking about when I considered turning professional. I was thinking about that at every single competition,” Hanyu said. He said he made the final decision after the Beijing Games as he was recovering from his ankle injury.

1. What can we know from Hanyu’s many experiences?

A．He won the first Olympic gold medal of skiing in 2014.

B．He is the first men’s skater to win two golds continuously.

C．He is the first to perform the quadruple axel successfully.

D．He first indicated his retirement in Beijing.

2. Why does Hanyu attract many admirers?

A．Because of his favourite stuffed bear.

B．Because of the Japanese cartoon pages.

C．Because of his popularity on social media.

D．Because of his looking and performance.

3. How does Hanyu feel about his retiring from competition?

B．Long-awaited.

C．Encouraging.

D．Thrilling.

4. What would be the best title of this passage?

A．Ice Prince Yuzuru Hanyu Retires from Competition
