Jin Boyang
Jin Boyang (Chinese: 金博洋; pinyin: Jīn Bóyáng; Mandarin pronunciation: [tɕín pwǒ jǎŋ]; born 3 October 1997) is a Chinese figure skater. He is a two-time World bronze medalist (2016–2017), the 2018 Four Continents champion, a two-time Four Continents silver medalist (2016, 2019), the 2017 Asian Winter Games silver medalist, a six-time Chinese national champion (2014–2017, 2019, 2025) and a two-time (2016, 2024) Chinese national winter games champion. On the junior level, he is the 2015 World Junior silver medalist and the 2013 JGP Final champion. He is the first Chinese skater to medal in the men's singles event at a World Championships.
Jin is the first skater ever to land a quad Lutz-triple toe loop combination in competition, the first skater to ever have landed three different types of quads in a single competition, the first skater to have landed four quad jumps in a single program in international competition, and the first skater to have landed six quads in international competition. He is credited as being one of the people who fueled the "revolution" based around quadruple jumps in figure skating.
He also represented China at the 2018, 2022, and 2026 Winter Olympics.
Jin was born on 3 October 1997, in Harbin, China. His parents formerly competed in middle to long-distance running. Jin enrolled at the Harbin Institute of Physical Education in 2013. In 2019, he enrolled for a Master's Degree at Beijing Sport University. His family name Jin (金) means "gold", and he is called "Golden Boy" by some media sources.
He likes pets, electronics, music, the internet, remote-controlled cars, car racing, and collecting shoes. He enjoys go-karting, motorcycling, and skiing but avoids them to prevent injury.
Jin started skating at age seven and a half, having become interested in the activity when he attended one of Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo's ice shows. His first coach was Wang Junxiang. He took ballet, Latin dances, jazz, and street dance classes before he started focusing on competitive skating. At first, his parents opposed the idea of a career in figure skating, because he was good at school at the time. However, he began to demonstrate his talents in skating, especially with dance movements, during his second year of primary school, and his parents started to support him.
At the age of 11, he started focusing on jumps, and by 2009–10, at the age of 12 or 13, he had landed five triple jumps. He landed his first triple Axel in May 2010. He landed his first quadruple toe loop at the age of 14, and his first quadruple Salchow at the age of 15. The first time he succeeded in jumping the quadruple Lutz in practice was in 2013.
Jin won the junior division of the Asian Open Trophy 2011 by "a landslide". He earned a total of 177.17 points; if he were competing in the senior men's division, he would have come in second place. His feet were so small that he had to wear girls' skates with black boot covers because there were no men's skating boots in his size.
