Chinese figure skater Jin Boyang is missing the 🥇action at the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin — but it’s not by choice. The 27-year-old athlete, known for his gravity-defying jumps, revealed a back injury forced him to withdraw from competition. During an exclusive chat with CGTN Sports Scene in Harbin, Jin shared his disappointment but vowed: ‘This isn’t the end of my story.’ 🎿
Years of intense training have taken a toll, Jin explained, requiring him to rethink his approach to recovery and mental focus. ‘My body needs time,’ he said, while cheering on teammates competing in this week’s ice dance, pairs, and men’s short programs. 🇨🇳
Though sidelined, Jin’s eyes are locked on a bigger prize: the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. After narrowly missing the podium at PyeongChang 2018 (finishing 4th 🥈), he’s determined to clinch a medal next time. ‘The fire’s still burning,’ he grinned, proving resilience is his secret weapon. 💥
