Personal life

Career
Jin started skating at age seven and a half, having become interested in the activity when he attended one of Shen/Zhao's ice shows. His first coach was Wang Junxiang.
2012–13 season
Jin debuted on the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in the 2012–13 season. After taking gold in France and silver in Slovenia, he finished fifth at the JGP Final and fourth at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan, Italy.
2013–14 season
In the 2013–14 JGP series, Jin won his assignments in Latvia and Estonia and then obtained gold at the JGP Final in Fukuoka, Japan. He won his first senior national title at the Chinese Championships. He finished sixth at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.
2014–15 season
In the 2014–15 season, Jin won both of his Junior Grand Prix events, in Slovenia and Japan, and was the top qualifier for the Junior Grand Prix Final, where he placed 2nd after the short program. However, a 5th-place free skate left him in 4th overall. He won his second national title at the Championships. Jin concluded his season with a silver medal at the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, having placed 5th in the short program and first in the free skate.

Jin received two 2015–16 Grand Prix assignments. At the 2015 Cup of China, he won the silver medal behind reigning World champion Javier Fernández. At the 2015 NHK Trophy, Jin took silver behind reigning Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu, thus qualifying for the 2015 Grand Prix Final in Barcelona, where he finished fifth. At his debut Four Continents Championships, in Taipei, he landed a total of six quadruple jumps in his programs and achieved new personal bests in his short program, free skate, and combined total scores. With a quad lutz, quad salchow, and two quad toeloops in his free skate, Jin also became the first skater to pull off three kinds of quads in a single program, and ultimately placed second overall behind Canada's Patrick Chan by a narrow difference of 0.38 points. At the 2016 World Championships in Boston, Jin won the bronze medal and became the first Chinese man to medal in men's singles on the world stage.
