China's figure skating scene is on fire 🔥 as two-time Olympian Jin Boyang claimed a decisive victory at the 2025 National Figure Skating Championships in Harbin this weekend! The 24-year-old star delivered a near-flawless performance, despite a minor stumble on his triple Axel, securing gold with a combined score of 277.76 points.
With the 2026 Winter Olympics approaching faster than a triple Lutz 🎯, Jin's win strengthens his bid for Team China. Selection criteria weigh performances at both this championship and last month's ISU Grand Prix Cup of China, where Jin outscored rivals Peng and Dai Dawei.
💬 "My form's improving with each competition – that's real progress," Jin told reporters post-victory. "But perfection is still the goal."
In the women's division, 14-year-old phenom Jin Shuxian defended her title with a jaw-dropping 208.85 total score 💫, proving technical mastery and artistry aren't mutually exclusive. Zhang Ruiyang and Zhu Yi completed the podium.
