Immersing in the thunderous cheers around the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China’s two-time world bronze medalist Jin Boyang, raised his head with tears in his eyes.
“When I was spinning in the air, I felt like being held by the audiences of my hometown,” said Jin after finishing his routine in men’s single skating short program in figure skating at Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games here on Tuesday.
“I felt that I was shouldering too much expectation in 2018, but now I am being more self-aware of how far I can go,” he added.
Jin delivered a good opening with a combination of quad Lutz and triple toeloop, which reaped 90.98 points to qualify for the final. A tumble on the flying camel spin and triple Axel left him 11th on the rankings.
“It was an incredible experience performing the quad toeloop in the venue,” said Jin who felt empowered hearing applause and cheers from the audience.
