[YuBluByMe]

He’s crying…never seen him cry before…. But it wasn’t a bad skate…

Crouching Boyang, Hidden Quads!

Why do you keep saying that lol, his quads are not hidden.

 

[Jeanie19]

Boyang. Good skate for the home crowd, he seems relieved.

 

[3dsushi]

Nice skate Boyang in front of your countrymen

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! Jin! I think that is the best 4Lz 3T we will see at the Olympics. Will this be the first 90+ score?

 

[clairexmarie]

Other than that axel that was a nice skate - happy tears from him at the end = happy tears from me

Everything's Boyang and nothing hurts.

Those quads. We are not worthy.

 

[Weathergal]

Jin's so emotional. Can't even imagine the thrill of skating in the Olympics in your home country. Hope they are happy tears.

Cacti?

Yes. Plural to cactus. A skater has cactus status when it hurts to love them. Everyone can have their own choice of cacti.

I have a feeling Boyang will stay in the lead for quite some time...

 

[Seven Sisters]

The first of our lovely figure skating flag bearers!

JIN Boyang (CHN)

Cleaned it up since the team short - I'm just glad he's still got energy from doing both team segments. Nice 4Lz+3T to open with a good 4T as well. Shame on the turn-out on the 3A, might be a 'q'. Spins might lose some levels, never his strong point. Better footwork with good energy that I felt could have been felt throughout the program. I'm glad he stood up all the way, though - doing his country proud with that!

Men's costumes very monochrome so far...

I dunno...I'm easily amused. Plus Crouching Quads, Hidden Boyang didn't seem right...

 

[lariko]

Great score!

 

[lariko]

Yay, go Litvintzev!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Oh hey look it's an actually good Rach cut!

 

[soccerjc77]

Ouff ! That triple axel was off axis but he manage to land it ! That's skill !

 

[anonymoose_au]

Damn cat landing on the 4A 3A for Vladimir L there!

Despite the bananas, Boyang skated like he meant it. There was some real passion and intensity in that which I appreciate.
