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 five-time (2014–2017, 2019) Chinese national champion 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.[1] He is the first Chinese skater to medal in the men's singles event at a World Championships.[2]

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.[2][3] He is credited as being one of the people who fueled the "revolution" based around quadruple jumps in figure skating.[2][4][5]
