Samenvatting:

Yuzuru Hanyu didn't just dominate the ice — he transformed it. With a grace that bends the laws of physics and a determination bordering on the mythic, he elevated figure skating to a form of total art. In this vivid portrait, Christian Soleil retraces the meteoric journey of the Japanese icon from Sendai, a young prodigy who became a global legend, each jump carving a fleeting poem into the air.

Balancing discipline, vulnerability, and flashes of pure genius, this book delves into the man behind the superstar — an artist endlessly pushing the frontier between technique and emotion. Hanyu skates the way one dreams, struggles, breathes; in both triumph and adversity, he reveals something of our own search for light.

A vibrant, future-minded tribute to a champion who is more than a champion: a myth in motion.
