History has been made and Jin Boyang has indeed landed that combination at a National competition (Not sure exactly which one it is....)

There's quite a bit of discussion on this on the Programs thread: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...y-Discipline&p=1223707&viewfull=1#post1223707

Be sure to check out the threads.

I think strategy is a worthy thing to discuss. For me, if he wants to focus on the jumps and get the high BV, that's great, but it's a high-risk strategy imo. It really depends on him landing that combo EVERY time.

I like it. Heck I love it. The quad I've wanted to see in competition has been a Lutz (rippon just doesn't do it for me; or more like rippon doesn't do the Quad Lutz). And I don't think the strategy is wrong really. The risky jump strategy has been the strategy that lifted him in the JWC last season.

Overall, I think his style (or atleast the timing to movement with music) has improved compared to when he was doing HTTYD soundtrack last season. Still I prefer Yan Han program wise but so exciting to think of the Lutz prospect.

Holy crap, that kid rotates fast. For a moment I thought it was fast-forward!:shocked:

But I have some bad feeling in my gut. Can he retain that fast rotation when puberty kicks in?

He's already 17. Surely any potential change to come will hardly be highly detrimental now? If so, I'd be more worried about Chen and Uno.

If anything growth spurts have helped Nathan with his speed and power.

growth spurts tend to wreck girls abilities more than boys... nam is also more powerful since he grew up last year and his growth was impressive.. he is actually a very tall guy now for figure skating...

PS just saw Nathan's LP from JGP... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say that Boyang will be a huge, huge threat to Hanyu and Chan at the 2018 games. Hanyu and Chan are not very consistent, and if Boyang happens to deliver at that time... Who knows?

Boyang has the slim build for ultra fast rotations like Plushenko, Reynolds, Brezina, and Hanyu. Additionally, skaters with this body type may also be very flexible but may lack stamina. For sure Boyang has made history and will likely make more as a phenomenal jumper, a force to reckon with in competitions with extremely high BV and TES. He has the potential to be one of the greatest if his SS and artistry also improve with maturity. Bravo!

I spoke too soon.. a sort of a pleasantly surprising way. He adds a 4T in the same program! Holy kangaroo!

And in the second half too, No steps into it though
Still his TES would be the highest on planet earth in the Short

BRAVO!

Next goal is 4Lz-4T. I wonder if this even possible.
I remember Plushenko said it was physically possible to land even 5T (five rotations).

I would score that SP as 84-85 points. It's a huge achievement in jumping but everything else is lacking.
