Boyang Jin withdraws from GPF

what the heck?!?!? I leave the forums for like three days to get school under control and when I come back another one's bit the dust

I honestly didn't think that his injuries were that bad after watching his performance at Skate America, but I'm glad if they are bad he's stepping back to give himself the rest he deserves

I just hope there's still somebody standing by next week :palmf:

I agree....I think this puts a lot of pressure on Adam. Even if Nathan Bombs, he's going to make the team. I don't know what to make of Vincent since he's had such a rough fall. When you add Max Arron to the mix....It's going to be very complicated for the judges. Should Alexander Johnson win Golden Spin, that throws another log on the fire...

As much as I love all of the American men in all their unique ways, I just can't see placing anyone other than Chen, Rippon, and Brown for the Olympics. Aaron and Zhou just haven't had anywhere near the placements that Rippon and Brown have had in the last two years (excepting Zhou's placement at Nationals last year). I think that with a pretty decent swing at a podium-placement with Nathan, they've both been consistent enough the last two seasons to guarantee decent placements and personable enough to appeal to sponsors that they're just the most reasonable choices.

The other person said that Skate America officials only offered the opportunity to US skaters. That clearly is not the case. Two Canadian men and one Russian lady had the opportunity to compete at SA when others unfortunately had to withdraw.

No, they said US-based international skaters

Very sad to hear this, but health comes first. Please have a speedy recovery, Boyang!

I think we willseethe injured all of them soon at their nationals. GPF is nothing really in Oly year. They are clearly minor injuries and you will see Ashley Boyang and Zhenya soon. Anna P I am not so sure she will even skate at her Nationals. But I hope I am wrong. She is the one who struggles emotionally. But she has achieved a lot inskating.

Dec 5 still Russian decision?

Looking forward to Jason Brown. He is a joy to watch quad or no quad.

Wow, so we have Chan, Fernandez, Hanyu, and Jin out of the GPF. This has to be the strangest Olympic year, let alone ANY year, of men's skating.

I'm hoping that Brown has a good showing and shake that NHK Trophy curse off in time for another event in Japan.
