Vincent Zhou will officially be trained by Mie Hamada and alongside Tammy Gambil. He will be splitting his time between Japan and the US and begin his first year at Brown in the fall!

Tom Z has really had a bit of an exodus of his top men
I know...….I wish I had some inside information as to why. I love so many of his students and this make mw worry that things have changed.
There are rumors that Tom has been offered a position at Toyota centre in LA.
Vincent has updated his Instagram and says he will attend Brown for one semester before taking a break to focus on skating.
Oh interesting. It's kind of weird to go for just one semester. Will this interfere with the GP?
My complete, total wild guess is that Brown, like many schools, will not allow deferral of more than one year to actually start school.
However, once matriculated and a student, they may allow a current student more “time off” than a prospective student. So Vincent is wisely ensuring his spot by enrolling and starting school , then returning to full time training,
( I need to stress, that although I have some familiarity with Brown from many many moons ago — US men skaters seem to like my spousal units’s alma maters, good for them — I do not know this for certain. But it’s my theory and I’m sticking to it)
As for the GP, I have no idea
Some schools allow deferral for up to two years. Those rules are exactly why I just expected him to apply in a few years as other skaters have done. It's definitely odd that he chose to apply at all right now. His calculus is a bit different than Karen's or even Nathan's given the timing, and he's done well enough that he would've earned a spot at a school like Brown after the Olympics anyways. His classmates the first semester will likely be seniors by the time he's back!
Clip of Krasnozhon's new SP. I think it suits him.
