Vincent Zhou

[skylark]

I'm with you, @anonymoose_au ! I'm very proud of Vincent. I am double posting.

Well ... he could definitely peak again. It would be very Vincent-like. And he was fabulous in vegas. He can do it again.

I agree with @el henry. I think this may help him in the individual skates. Did anyone but me notice that after the first troubles, he gained power and strength in the second half of the program. No URs on the last 3 jumping passes. Only 2 URs in all. I take my glass half full. LOL.

He's such an emotional skater, and that's one of the many things I love about him. I can't wait to see him perform "Vincent" in the indiv. SP!

If you want to send Vincent some extra love and support, you can do it here. Also, his video about covid is about 5 minutes but it is SO worth the time to watch it.

I’m heartbroken for Vincent, it must be devastating for him… and it hurts even more if you think that this happened after a fantastic comeback season

 

[cheerknithanson]

I’m so glad he was able to be in the team event though. Because he got a medal from that. And now he's an OLYMPIC MEDALIST! So at least that happened. I am bummed that he had to WD from the men's singles event.

Feeling so sad for Vincent. These Olys were very special for him because of his "roots". Such a shame that he had to WD.

I would like to send something more tangible. Like cards that some of us sent Chelsea and Danny after that crash at Warsaw Cup.

Do we know if he is symptomatic?

Dear Vincent,

I watched your video and you are right, this will not impact who you are as a person or a skater. You have much to be proud of and as an American, I’m proud that you represent the USA. Your future self will be proud of you, too.

Keep your head up kiddo, this too shall pass. Thank you for speaking so honestly about mental health and for not being afraid of vulnerability. We need more young voices like yours.

Hope you have a speedy recovery

Congratulations on your silver medal- it is well deserved!

I think I read that he is asymptomatic https://sports.yahoo.com/us-figure-skater-vincent-zhou-162009597.html?src=rss I feel so badly for him. This is unfortunate, especially when it seems that COVID is endemic now.

The Today Show interviewed him from the Olympics. What a great kid. Hang in there, Vincent!

Interesting vid..... Best wishes to him. 50 percent of all those who are vaxed and boosted and contract the SARS2 virus are asymptomatic. But of course can be turned up with a PCR test and perhaps a rapid antigen test.
"He said Tuesday that the positive test came as a shock because he was asymptomatic up until then and was "99 percent asymptomatic still."

What an amazing young man Vincent is! My heart goes out to him and I wish him a quick recovery and return to the ice in preparation for the World Championships.

I haven’t been a fan of Vincent’s skating. Of course I’m happy for all his achievements. And I appreciate his well educated manner. Today I read from other forum that he was approached by the Chinese government a few years ago to represent the country. His parents turned down the offer politely.

I’m very proud of him and his parents.

I loved Vincent's exhibition gala performance. I read he can't go to the Closing Ceremonies. Is that even true or a rumor? I mean he is no longer infectious right? Such a heartbreaking experience for him to have gone through this whole Olympics.

He was stunning..!!

In his programs - competition as well as gala - he is so transcending, so artistic. He comes right after Shoma Uno for me.

He was amazing and in a sequence with G/P, just such a way to turn around the sadness.

14 neg. Tests and he cant march in the closing cerimonoes. Isnt that interesting? Vince, I would stand shoulder to shoulder anytime with you.

Congrats Vincent on your World Bronze Medal. I hope this takes a little of the sting away from your Olympics.

What a season for Vincent. From the high of Skate America to the low of the Olympics, he always maintained his class. I’m so happy he was able to end up on that high note today!
