Rio. Great outfit and program. Great skate.

I had him in 5th and then removed him... but if he does finish 2nd... i wouldn't have had points LOL..

after my 5 points for women... i feel like i have popped my way through this event lol

I've had at least one skater in each division so far bombo my hopes

Also, Grayson is Senior-eligible and just smashed that Skate Canada Challenger threshold - I better see him get one of those assignments too (4CC would be a possibility for him this season).

Don't worry about that part... Skate Canada loves Grayson.. and as you know... he just earned it by himself with that big score... so they will be happy to give it to him.

I don't care about the Axel, but Rio, we would like to see three combinations. You don't need them here, but you might in the future.

 

[auser]

Oh yes Rio! Woohoo! Love the fire in your skating. Congrats!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Rio got a @NoNameFace crown!

Wow dem quads

 

[FlossieH]

Well, I was hoping to finish work in time to catch the final group and have seen one skater.

Great skate from Rio. It seemed much more mature and less erratic than in previous seasons.

This boy is fire Such a nice flow olanding his jumps. I was not perfect but good enough for first GP, easy win. This kid loves clenching his fists I like the pace he's being developed, not shooting of all the quads he has at once but letting him grow to be all rounder.

 

[4everchan]

so what's the story with not lutzing Rio ? is he trying to emulate Shoma ? Lutzes are fake here ? LOL (does he have an ankle issue with them like Nic Nadeau mentioned after his injury)

 

[EdgeCall]

Clear winner . Congrats to Rio and all the medalists.

 

[FlossieH]

Top 10 for Edward Solovyov. I did not expect to see that!

I need to watch the whole event later. Am looking forwards to it.

 

[4everchan]

Part two to my comment :

What will really be interesting is if Skate Canada decides to give him a second JGP spot....when these are a rare commodity in the current Canadian economy.

I am too lazy to do my points but here is what I GUESSED

1. Rio NAKATA (JPN) 15
2. Yanhao LI (NZL) 0
3. Genrikh GARTUNG (GER) 15
4. Lukas VACLAVIK (SVK) 5
5. Grayson LONG (CAN) ??

What do I get for Grayson?

 

[Jontor]

Rio Nakata is amazing
Lucas Vaclavik is my favourite junior European right now
Pleasantly surprised by the new swede Albin Samuelsson - you go Albin!

So Nakata shoots up into the lead in the Seasons Best List.
But, Canada is 2, 4, 5 right now. Who would have thought.. .

You don't get anything for Grayson.
