ISU interviewed Boyang: http://www.isu.org/en/single-and-pair-skating-and-ice-dance/news/2016/07/feature-boyang-jin
I'm a bit surprised about his jumping talent progress because I assumed his jumps stood out first. I also love to see him believe in himself capable of dancing well.Q: What kinds of talents? Was it your jumping talent?
J: No, I didn’t get my jumps from the beginning. Actually I progressed quite slow, but finally started to do well in jumps from three or four years ago. When I was little, I was showing talents in dance movements.
Q: What is your secret of those difficult jumps?
J: For me, doing jumps is not about difficulty, it is how you feel about it and how you set your mind. First, you need to have the desire to jump; then, you need to have the want of beating that jump when you take off. That’s it.
Q: Which part of your body do you like the most?
J: My canine teeth.
The interview exudes Boyang's adorable personality all over the place.

I love this mentality. :agree:
Canine teeth....that's different and funny. Are they sharp like a vampire?

Loved the Cowboy program. Suites his personality to a tee And his Tango Amore, still my favorite program of his
Darn can't get any of these videos to play for me. I get a commercial and then nothing. Would love to see Jin! :sad4:
Here's Tango Amore on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Mr-TQgDQ0
How many quad did Jin put in the Cowboy xhibition? Seems at least 2? can't be sure.
Loved the new cowboy ex program!
Did anyone here notice, that Jin's stroking across the ice has so improved? - much longer, held, gliding edges, lovely posture and carriage as he strokes across the ice. I think Lori Nicoll has done some good work here. This whole 'cowboy' ex could be done to get Boyangs' legs moving and working. Because of that, I am confident that Lori would come up with 2 great new programs for Boyang, the music may not be our preferred choices as fans but a seasoned and world renowned choreographer like Lori is careful to get the athlete to also improve on parts of their skating skills in the programs that they chose. I am positive!!
