OlderVincent Zhou Lands 5 Quads, Places 6th at 2018 Winter Olympics
Vincent Zhou got really emotional after his free skate program on Sunday (February 17) at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
The 17-year-old figure skater, who is the youngest member of Team USA, slipped on one jump, but landed five quads and scored his personal best with 192.16.
Vincent placed 6th after his free skate, while teammates Nathan Chen and Adam Rippon placed 5th and 10th, respectively.
“These are memories that I will think back on many decades later and smile an old, withered smile complete with knowledge that I made the most of my life, especially as a 17 year old Olympian,” Vincent wrote on Instagram. “I placed 6th among the best skaters in the history of this sport and I am so very proud to do so representing the USA. My place is here and my time is now.”
