2018 Four Continents Mens FS

I wouldn't say that... 2014 taught us to never sleep on D-10. First of all because he often peaks at the right time and second of all because he doesn't like it and feels smothered.

You never know, but I find it very hard to believe it'll happen. Because this year MANY more skaters have to mess up for him to get anywhere near the top scores, which he never got in the first place.

Ooof, Nam. Not the skate he wanted. I'm still hoping for a big break out on his part.

... are they throwing ramen at him?
 
A few bobbles, but there were some nice moments too. I'm always amazed at how Nam is able to get jumps completed with so little speed. I can see small improvements in his speed and skating skills in the past few months, which is definitely an area that needed work. Keep it up, Nam! :)
 
Level 4 spins for Nam (though not great +GOE)

Nam's 3A seems to be bigger than before. I can't say I'm a fan of his skating, but he has improved a lot. I expect Nam will be at Worlds as Patrick might retire right after the Olympics.
 
Well, all my moose-blooded compatriots, let's all take a moment to imagine that the event gets cancelled right now, and we have a Canadian sweep of the podium!
