Had Jin been American, he would have won this event, in my opinion.Interesting analysis. To me, it is the opposite. Jin's jumping prowess has somewhat disguised his evident skating skills and performance ability. He is just now starting to get the PCS that he deserves. That is just a natural progression and does not say anything about politics, IMHO.
For the second part, it seemed to me that the jumps always came first. Every year there was a new youthful "jumping bean" (Michelle Kwan, for instance) who wowed everyone. The hope was that this raw talent could be refined later on -- sometimes yes, sometimes no.
I have heard he has an ankle injury, no wonder about the bad landings. I think he will be healthy by the time of Olympic.
