Miura Riku (25) of the pair, who won the gold medal with a dramatic come-from-behind victory in the figure skating pair category at the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, is heating up the Japanese archipelago with her beauty that shines as much as her skills.

Miura Riku-Kihara Ryuichijo faced a crisis on the 15th, finishing fifth due to an error in the short program of the "2026 Winter Olympics". However, he showed a near-perfect performance in the free skating the next day, scoring 158.13 points, the highest ever in the world, and winning a miraculous come-from-behind victory with a total of 231.24 points.

With this medal, Miura won her third career Olympic medal. It is said to be the first individual gold medal after the team silver medal at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the team silver medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics. At the same time, it built the gold tower of the first pair event Olympic gold medal in Japanese figure skating history.

According to a report by Japan's Chunichi Sports on the 18th, after the match, local social media and online communities in Japan said that the scene of the ceremony of the two's hot hugs and tears became a hot topic, and that Riku Miura's appearance resembled a famous celebrity.

The most frequently mentioned person is actor Sakurai Yuki (39). Japanese Internet users praised him, saying, "I thought he was Sakurai Yuki while watching the game," "The face shape and his unique sharp expression are the same," and "I would believe he was a actress on the ice." In addition, stars with innocent and intelligent images are mentioned as similarities.

Japanese media analyzed, "Miura's fighting spirit and pure smile after the game completely captured the hearts of fans." The Japanese archipelago is expected to be shaken by the "Riku craze" for the time being due to the birth of a "goddess of ice" that combines both skills and beauty.
