"When I was spinning in the air, I felt like being held by the audiences of my hometown," said Jin after finishing his routine in men's single skating short program in figure skating at Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games here on Tuesday.
Jin delivered a good opening with a combination of quad Lutz and triple toeloop, which reaped 90.98 points to qualify for the final. A tumble on the flying camel spin and triple Axel left him 11th on the rankings.
Over the past four years, he has been devoted to training himself into a more strong-minded person who can be more concentrated whenever he's on the ice.
