SUMMERY
Yuzuru Hanyuu collided with China’s Han Yan in warm-ups for free skating, still he won the second prize at Cup of China. He appeared on the ice with his head wrapped and with blood streaming from the cut on his chin exposed. Although his performance apparently reminded the audiences of the shocking crash with falling five times, he nearly won silver.

REACTION
I have two things to talk about here.
Firstly, to some extent, people make themselves lay national sentiment on the stage of international competition, although international competition of sports is the place where politic affair is put aside and people with different background can mutually interact. Actually, after media reported the accident between Yuzuru Hanyu and Yan Han, some Japanese brought an issue of Chinese anti-Japanese sentiment and claimed Yan intentionally collided with Hanyuu.
Secondly, the accident poses a question: to what extent athletes could decide whether they continue their performance or not, when they are injured before or during a game. The coach persuaded Hanyuu to cancel skating, but finally he allowed him go because Hanyuu did not say yes and physical signs of a concussion did not appear. The skating union takes medical system into account affected by the accident. There is room to discuss how much the will of athletes should be respected.
