Yan Han (simplified Chinese: 闫涵; traditional Chinese: 閻涵; pinyin: Yán Hán; March 6, 1996) is a Chinese male figure skater. He is a three-time Four Continents bronze medalist (2013, 2015, 2016), 2013 Cup of China champion, 2012 World Junior champion, 2012 Youth Olympics champion, and a two-time (2009, 2010) Chinese national champion.

Career

The only athlete in his family, Yan started skating at the age of 5. He trained in Harbin until he relocated to Beijing in early 2012.[1]

2009–2010 season

Yan made his ISU Junior Grand Prix debut in the 2009–10 season. He won gold at the event in Turkey, his only assignment that season. He did not compete at the 2010 World Junior Championships due to a fracture injury.[citation needed]

2010–2011 season

Yan was assigned to the 2010–11 ISU Junior Grand Prix events in Austria and Czech Republic. After winning his two JGP events, Yan qualified for the 2010–11 Junior Grand Prix Final, which was held in Beijing, China. Yan took the silver medal in his home country. He ended the season by placing 6th in his debut at the 2011 World Junior Championships in Korea.

2011–2012 season

In the 2011–12 season, Yan began attempting a triple axel and a quad toe loop jump in competition. After winning gold in his two JGP events in Austria and Italy, Yan qualified for the 2011–12 Junior Grand Prix Final, held in Quebec City, Canada, where he won the silver medal despite having a fever.[citation needed] He became the 2012 Youth Olympics champion in Innsbruck, Austria.

Yan then competed at the 2012 World Junior Championships and won the gold medal, becoming the first Chinese to win the men's junior world title.

2012–2013 season

Yan started his season at the 2012 JGP Slovenia, where he finished 5th after a shattering fall on the quadruple toe loop in the free program. He then won silver, behind Maxim Kovtun at the 2012 JGP Croatia. He did not advance to the JGP Final.

Yan took silver at the 2013 Chinese Championships. He made his senior international debut at the 2013 Four Continents Championships, where he took the bronze medal and set a new personal best score of 235.22 points. Yan ended the season placing 9th in the men's discipline and 5th with Team China at the 2013 World Team Trophy. He then flew to Toronto to work with Lori Nichol for two new programs for the upcoming season.

2013–2014 season

Yan's senior Grand Prix debut came at the 2013 Cup of China. He placed first in the short setting a personal best score of 90.14 points and placed second in the free winning the gold medal overall, ahead of Maxim Kovtun. Yan set a personal best overall score of 245.62 points. Yan's second event was the 2013 Trophée Éric Bompard. Although he developed a fever the day before his short program,[citation needed] he still scored 84.34 points in the short and 129.89 points in the free, placing fourth overall. His results qualified him for the Grand Prix Final, in which he placed 6th overall. He was selected to compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, where he finished seventh.[2] He then finished seventh at the 2014 World Figure Skating Championships in Saitama, Japan.

2014–2015 season

For the 2014–15 Grand Prix season, Yan was selected to compete at the Cup of China and Trophée Bompard.[3] On November 8, during the free skate warm-up at the Cup of China, Yan had a collision with Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu. Yan was visibly injured, but decided to compete. He placed seventh for the free program, sixth overall.[4][5][6]

At the 2015 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships Yan took the bronze medal with a combined score of 259.47, a personal best. He competed at the 2015 World Figure Skating Championships and placed 10th overall.

2015-2016 season

For the 2015-16 Grand Prix season, Yan was selected to compete at the Skate America and Cup of China.[7]
