(1/5/20) - World bronze medalist Vincent Zhou announced today that he will begin training with Lee Barkell and Lori Nichol in Toronto, Canada.
Zhou will continue to train with Mie Hamada. Zhou had previously been coached by Tammy Gambill, Christy Krall and Tom Zakrajsek in Colorado Springs.
“I can’t thank Tammy, Christy and Tom enough for all they have done for me and my career,” Zhou said. “I’m excited to begin training with Lee, and also work more regularly with Lori, in Toronto, and continue to work with Mie.”
In addition, Zhou will immediately begin a gap year at Brown University to focus on figure skating. He withdrew from both of his Grand Prix assignments to focus on school this fall, and will return to competitive ice at the 2020 TOYOTA U.S. Figure Skating Championships, set for Jan. 20-26, 2020, in Greensboro, North Carolina.
