Age controversy

In February 2011, Jin and his partner's ages became the subject of controversy. Although his ISU bio lists Jin as born on May 16, 1994, a Chinese website suggests he was born on that day in 1989, meaning he was too old to compete in Junior Grand Prix events during the 2010–11 season. His partner's age also came under scrutiny. Her ISU bio states that she was born on January 2, 1996 but the Chinese website suggests she was born on that day in 1998, meaning she was too young to compete in junior events.
