(CNN) -- Japanese teenager Yuzuku Hanyu survived two falls to emerge on top of a tense and error-ridden finale to the men's figure skating competition at the Winter Olympics in Sochi Friday. The 19-year-old had set a world-record score in the short program, but under pressure of expectation in the concluding free routine appeared to have blown his chances as he failed to land two jumps. However, there was drama still to come on day seven of the Games as three-time world champion Patrick Chan of Canada once again saw his dreams of Olympic gold crumble. A lackluster display littered with mistakes saw Chan fail to overhaul Hanyu, who was left as a relieved winner -- Japan's first in the event as the country opened its gold-medal account in Sochi.
