Most people see the Olympics as a chance to support athletes from their home country in their collective endeavor to become the world's greatest — but you'll be tempted to switch things up and root for Chinese figure skater Jin Boyang after watching this! The 20-year-old, who will be competing for the first time in the 2018 Winter Olympics at PyeongChang, gave a preview of the long program he'll be skating in South Korea at the 2017 Skate America competition . . . and the music will sound familiar to any Star Wars fan.
Boyang has already earned a reputation for other geeky performances, notably Spider-Man figure skating routines [2], but his Star Wars routine is truly something else! Dancing to memorable songs from the franchise's score such as the Cantina band song from Star Wars: A New Hope, Boyang showed plenty of the breathtaking skill that earned him a place on China's Olympic team [3], even while skating on two sprained ankles [4]. As we're sure Finn would say: "That's one hell of a skater!"
Give the full routine a watch above, and follow along with the rest of our Olympics coverage [5] to see more stellar performances! We can't wait to see if anybody else busts out their own geeky surprise on the ice.
