Two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu had a solo ice show at Tokyo Dome on Sunday, making him the first skater to do so there.

The 28-year-old professional skater served as executive producer for his one-day-only show, "Gift," which was also live streamed worldwide. Tickets sold out as expected.

Tokyo Dome is one of Japan's biggest entertainment venues, having hosted NBA regular-season games and a boxing title match featuring Mike Tyson in the past.

Last year, Hanyu announced his retirement from competitive figure skating and turned pro after a fourth-place finish at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
