China's Jin Boyang to take part in ISU GP in France

BEIJING, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- China's figure skating star Jin Boyang will take part in the ISU Grand Prix in Grenoble, France, which runs from Nov. 23 to 25.

The 21-year-old Jin, who finished fourth in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games this year, is China's medal hope at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.

Jin will meet his strong rival Nathan Chen of the United States, who is the bronze medalist at the Pyeongchang Games.

Two-time Olympic Champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan will skip the competition as he just overcame an ankle injury to win his second Grand Prix gold medal in Moscow on Saturday.
