Age controversy

In February 2011, a group of Chinese skaters' ages became the subject of controversy as their birth dates published on the Chinese Skating Association's website did not match the ones listed on their bio pages in the ISU website. The controversy prompted a search for more discrepancies among Chinese figure skaters' dates of births. Although Jin himself did not have a controversy, according to the website his then partner Yu Xiaoyu's birthday was listed as 2 January, 1998, although the ISU website had it registered as 2 January, 1996. Officials from the State General Administration of Sports held a press conference where they attributed the discrepancies to erroneous information provided by the Chinese website.
