@elektra blue prepare to mute

Ed Sheeran AND Bocelli, this must be what they play in Guantanamo

 

[Rikku]

I just got very nostalgic, remembering baby Boyang way way back in 2015/16, and how far he's come with his presentation.

 

[Jontor]

Good skate from Jin!

But watching curling simultaneously makes my mind confused at times. I was thinking...where is Boyang's broom?

 

[Paulipau]

To cheer everyone up...

B E N O I T is going kind of viral because he's been next to so many skaters & teams in the k&c and he's been changing jackets each time to match with each country's uniform. He apparently has an assistant who helps him do the quick changes, like between Nika & Max... he is the most booked & busy man in figure skating

He deserves it, he is a great choreographer.

 

[FlossieH]

Weird fall from Bojang, and not his best, but much better than some of his skates the past couple of years.

 

[TT_Fin]

Rinky go away! Go to watch ice hockey or curling (is there some going on?)

 

[cocteautwin]

Oh Boyang, my beloved Why does he chose such a dull music? I know it has italian part but still... he should bring back that spiderman mood

 

[cheerknithanson]

We're halfway done with the FP. Holy moly.

M. Richaud we truly recommend you to have a less busy schedule, it's for your sake and totally not because half your programs are now [data redacted]

Not quite the quadster he used to be, but I enjoyed this soulful, more calm Jin! Good skate!

 

[Demandred]

Such a weird fall by Boyang, some other mistakes too but a very enjoyable to watch skate overall.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

well, Kao Miura has now climbed his way over 8 skaters to guarantee himself a top-14 finish... one should never doubt the propensity of men to men

 

[CoyoteChris]

Italian meatballs and kimchi for lunch

 

[bartlebooth]

Time to grab a bite.

 

[Ares]

Female emancipation has made good progress. The men used to start drinking because of their women, now the women are doing the same because of the men ...

We're gonna become so wasted already before the 3rd flight that we might pass out

 

[snowflake]

Now I'll eat food fast from my long stewing moose stew

 

[16Olympics]

He deserves it, he is a great choreographer.

He choreos for so many and is in the coaching staff for many more.....he's impressive.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I’m just glad to see these guys here—the lovely Max, our favorite cheery Chinese Uncle, Matteo, Deniss…

JIN Boyang (CHN), I like you. But, this music is brutal!

Thankfully, the skating wasn't. It was beautiful!

Well, he did have issues, but who doesn't? (Especially amongst the men)

He goes into 9th position in the FS, and 6th position overall.
