Japan has won its first Olympic gold medal for pairs figure skating. Skaters Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara also set a world record. After the first round, the pair did not look like getting a medal. They knew they would need some magic. Their performance was golden. It was full of speed and technique.
The couple were shocked after winning. Mr Kihara told reporters: "We were determined to nail it." He added: "I never thought we could win gold." Ms Miura said: "We have grown a lot, so I think that is the reason why we managed to win the gold medal." Their coach said: "I think today they were able to create magic."
