redemption (n): the act of recovering what was lost, of making amends, of rescue. the state of being fulfilled once again.

mao asada’s 3rd place free skate at the 2014 olympics brought her from 16th to 6th place; nathan chen’s 1st place free skate at the 2018 olympics brought him from 17th to 5th. both faced immense pressure and criticism after stumbles in their short programs, but redeemed themselves powerfully.

it’s easy to be written off after expectations aren’t met. it takes a certain strength to say ‘fuck that’ and roar back. in figure skating, a competition consists of two segments, and it’s never over until the final bow.

just wanted to say, i really loved the figure skating costume drawings you did for last season! you style is pretty amazing. do you plan on doing more of those in the future?

thank you, i'm glad you liked the drawings!i've been pretty busy this season, but if i get the time/inspiration then i might try to draw yuzu's seimei costume (or something else? idk but seimei seems like the one i'd want to draw most rn)

World bronze medalist Boyang Jin of China, who said Friday he was skating with two sprained ankles, fought through his free skate, omitting his trademark quad lutz and having shaky landings on a quad toe, quad salchow and a few other jumps. Still, his program was good enough for 168.06 points and fourth place, which earned the Cup of China silver medalist a spot at the Grand Prix Final.
"Regardless of how I felt with my ankles, I was able to do my free skate, so I am happy with that," Jin said through an interpreter. "I was overall satisfied with my performance, regardless of the mistakes. I was pretty much off of the ice after Cup of China, getting therapy and treatment from the Chinese national team (for the ankles), and I will continue to do so after Skate America." (icenetwork)

So on the topic of boyang..... There was this chinese commentator who said that the reason why boyang didn't get gold was because the announcer introduced him as Boyang "Yin” (银=silver), as opposed to his real name Boyang "Jin" (pun on the chinese char for 金=gold)

boyang tong, 铜博洋, tbh. hopefully he can become an international 金博洋 one day.

weibo updates:

03-22-2017: perhaps on the 7th, i fractured my shoulder, which led to the second and third dislocations, since it wasn’t stuck, really thought, ok, gamble on training, barely did anything and arm fell off again, every day in training i grit my teeth in pain, really can’t hold on anymore, i’ve tried my best… think it’s time to rest a little…
03-24-2017: thank you [federation] leaders for support in encouraging such a quick arrangement of the surgery and following rehabilitation….thank you coach li, dongsen, and qing [pang] for staying with me through my stubbornness and in the end inability to hold on……hospitalization on monday, surgery on tuesday…finally will be rid of the days where pain prevented sleep and made my teeth itch…. thinking about it there’s a bit of excitement and nervousness……

han has withdrawn from worlds, and boyang jin will be china’s only worlds entry for men. best wishes to han for a successful surgery and speedy recovery!
