Good Jumper but his artistry is still bland.

Hanyu, Shoma, Javi and Boyang, who will be the king of the ice tomorrow? Omg I can’t wait for the FS!!

Final count!!

Men's SP SPLATFEST Tally:
Stayed on their feet!: 19 :agree:
Fell on their butt: 11

Jin higher tech than Shoma but will not get the PCS. Still will be close.

 

[Roast Toast]

I think Boyang has grown a lot as a performer. He really was truly awful before. Nathan had about 41 PCS, this should get more.

 

[bobbob]

Pls put Boyang in third...pls...

 

[SarahSynchro]

I am so so so SO proud of him!!! He has improved so much since he debuted as a senior three years ago. There’s still some work to do for his PCS, but you definitely can’t deny he’s been obviously working at it.

Wow. Adam in 7th. If someone falters he could end up finishing in top 6. Just wow. Who would have predicted that finish order of US men?

 

[Violet Bliss]

Boyng Boyng, as Kurt likes to call him, brought it like he usually does at the big event at the end of the season.

 

[HanDomi]

great event, and now someone save us with Hanyu program replay :agree:

 

[cheerknithanson]

Why can't they have a pewter medal for skating?

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Great. Another 100+ skate For the first time this season, im happy how men generally performed

 

[satine]

103.32 in 4th!

 

[Jammers]

Now that all these skaters are healthy we are seeing what they can do.

 

[chopinskate]

SO SO happy for the Top four, but specially Yuzu and Boyang! New PB for Boyang too!

Boyang Jin

Extra high 4Lz+3T with a tight 3T but still rotated. Clean 4T close to the board but well done. Good camel spin. Solid 3A as well. Brilliant spin through a pair of spins. Very athletic step sequence with strong edges and hitchkicks. What a brilliant technical performance!

Never count out Boyang Jin! He has captured bronze twice for a reason. His jumps were fantastic today and his expression was deeper and more internalized than even his short program performance at 4CC. The judges should give him the PCS with this, but I'm not sure if they'll go with it. I think he should get around 100.

My boy Nate really died for everyone else in this group and I can't decide if it was worth it

Jin following the Great Tradition of Chinese Skating: get your tech to jaw dropping levels, then master the artistry. Not mastered yet, but...

He's come so far.
