Vincent Zhou won the Nebelhorn Trophy on Friday evening and ensured the United States will send three men’s figure skaters to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in just over four months.
The 2018 Olympian totaled 284.23 points to earn the first ISU Challenger Series victory of his career; he had previously finished twice at two Challenger Series competitions and third at another.
France’s Adam Siao Him Fa trailed by 40.45 points for second and Russian Mark Kondratiuk was third with 241.06 points in Oberstdorf, Germany.
With seven men’s spots up for grabs, Nebelhorn Trophy served as the final opportunity for countries to earn or confirm quotas for Beijing.
