China's Jin Boyang leads men's short program at Asiad

Xinhua, February 24, 2017 Adjust font size:

China's figure skater Jin Boyang led the men's short program at the Sapporo Asian Winter Games here on Friday.

Jin, danced to "Spiderman", produced 92.86 points to stand atop despite minor errors in his opening quadruple jump.

Japan's Shoma Uno, third at the Four Continents Championships last week, trailed with only 0.43 points shy. China's Yan Han placed third in 91.56.

"Basically I am satisfied," said Jin. "I failed to stand stably in my first quadruple jump, but I did well in the spins, sequences and other jumps."

Jin, fifth at the Four Continents Championships, expects a better performance in free skate.

"I hope I can dance a perfect free skate on Sunday," he said. Endit
