2016 Junior Worlds Mens Free Skate

[Princessroja]

To me Tomoki was the best of Japanese men today. So much presence on the ice and so much personality. Great job! How old is he?

He may be Japanese ethnically, but he's competing for America. He just turned 15.

Samarin: 156.35 points to beat…

 

[cheerknithanson]

Tomoki sure surprised everyone. He wins junior nationals and now he beat Vincent here.

And he was the replacement for Nathan Chen who was supposed to be here but couldn't cause of injury. And Tomoki I think made Nathan proud!

 

[Sorrento]

He may be Japanese ethnically, but he's competing for America. He just turned 15.

Yeah, I got it wrong. 15, well, he has potential.

 

[Layback11]

Isreal for the win more likely, unless samarin does something outstanding

Nope-stepout and a fall already.

 

[Princessroja]

Yeah, I got it wrong. 15, well, he has potential.

He sure does!

He may be Japanese ethnically, but he's competing for America. He just turned 15.

Samarin will get silver if he lands everything clean from this point. Fight man!

 

[TatiMax]

Samohin is so ready for seniors!!! He needs to turn senior next season

Yeah, I think doing this Junior season was good for him (even though he did get initial GP assignments) but he's definitely ready for Seniors now.

 

[Crossover]

Man....not a good day for the Team Russia.

 

[cathlen]

Okay, I want Kevin to suprise everyone and do really good!

 

[Sorrento]

He sure does!

You know what, maybe he will consider skating for Japan. Just thinking. Just like Murakami did.

 

[Mrs. P]

So it's official. The top 3 guys imploded and now are behind the guys who finished 9th, 8th and 6th. So weird.

Tomoki might medal!

Now, Kevin, a last great skate for us to enjoy. GO!
