Vincent Zhou to train with coach Hamada, who also teaches Rika Kihira, officially requested after the World Championship / figure
The relationship between figure skating World Championship men's bronze medalist Vincent Zhou (US) and Mie Hamada, who also teaches Kihira Rika (Sekidai KFSC), who first won the Grand Prix (GP) Final Women last December, is revealed in interviews where she will be the main coach with Tammy Gambil, who teaches at the Colorado Springs practice base. On the same day, the Kinoshita Group announced that it had signed an affiliation contract with Zhou.
The 18-year-old Zhou was ranked sixth in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, using the highly challenging Quad Lutz as a weapon. Hamada coach has been teaching him regularly since a few years ago, but they were formally asked after the World Championships in March. Zhou is planning to enter the University of Brown this fall and practice in the United States and Japan, aiming for the Beijing Olympics in 22 years.
