I see Nathan Chen passing them both up soon.I still see him as a cute boy, though. Cause he looks like my co-worker's son, who has also turned 16 this year. Anyways, I will root for him no matter what. Between him and Pitkeev, I will choose Nam. I see him as a better performer.
Nathan is still 1m50. He needs a lot of growing for the next 2 years. For now I see the rivalry between Nam and Pitkeev.I see Nathan Chen passing them both up soon.
So... I guess I have no choice but to back Pitkeev next season, so that we can have a mini just-out-of-juniors war. The battle lines are drawn...I still see him as a cute boy, though.

Frankly In my vision I see that Nam will get better PCS while Pitkeev will get better TES. It's easy to guess, though.So... I guess I have no choice but to back Pitkeev next season, so that we can have a mini just-out-of-juniors war. The battle lines are drawn...

I think it's better for him to stay junior for 2 more years. I hope he will grow more 10 cm, though. 1m50 is still too short for a senior men, in my humble opinion.Speaking of Nathan, he's staying junior one more year? He's old enough to move up...guess he wants all the titles. Still he's young enough. He's a year younger than Nam.
