Translation
A parade to celebrate 23-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu achieving the first back-to-back wins in 66 years in men¡¯s figure skating at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, was held in his hometown of Sendai and had an economic effect of an estimated ?1.85 billion, an organizing committee announced Nov. 30.
According to the committee, April¡¯s parade was attended by around 24,600 people from outside Miyagi Prefecture and around 400 from overseas, so the effect mainly focused on spending for lodging, and food and drink.
