German eurosport commentary after Boyangs FS:
good lord, has the whole world gone crazy? That's just incomprehensible (meaning: unbelievable). And Hendrik, I don't know if you agree or maybe you see things totally differently than me, but I thought this was a nice program.
yes, he really improved enormously. Enormously in this aspect! (they are talking about his components). He laid out the basis technically in a sensational way. And the music of Nina Rota from La Strada, of course he can't portrait Anthony Quinn being a muscleman, but! But he worked on his lacking program components and he improved extremely well.
- yes, I think so too. It's really noticeable compared to last season, when the long program was really lacking. Here, he showed something in Helsinki that was absolutely worth watching. Of course his absolute highlights remain to be his quads, the number of quads, the quad lutz that he does so easily like nobody else in the world. But the aspect in which he still has the most potential (to add to his score) are his program components. He has improved on those over this season. Last year in the Grand Prix his PCS were 19 points behind Fernandez's. Now, this won't happen anymore.
- Yes, great achievement of Boyang Jin, who now of course with this performance can hope for a medal, if one of the big guns doesn't bring their A game. He just said, I'm here my friends. I'm here ready, in case someone drops a medal.
- Yes, great, really, Boyang jin. That's a big story. Well he's actually not that far away from a medal. The gap (in scores from the sp) between him and Uno and Chan isn't that big. Jin's problem is that Hanyu's already passed him by, which means, I think beside Hanyu and Fernandez (they think Javi has a medal pretty sure) there's only one medal left.
- cracks the 200mark in the Fs. What did he get? 86 PCS. Well, we're satisfied. 303 points in total. Incredible. Into 2nd place.
Edit: I'd like to add: the German eurosport guys were big fans of Boyang in his debut season, but were more critical this season. They didn't like his Spiderman or La Strada program that much in the beginning of the season, but sure liked it here in Helsinki
, because that is huge. (And similar to Barcelona, I think he looks stronger in practices even. I expect more improvements next season 
he has so much talent and potential!)
but to be fair, they both weren't very knowledgeable, so they probably just repeated what others have told them, without actually comparing those two skates with each other themselves...
