)

This was a great men's competition and excellent podium. Speechless at Rio Nakata's program. 
Sad that once again, Jacob Sanchez ends up in fourth but that's no slouch considering no quad.
Juniors next year is going to be interesting. I assume Rio, Minkyu and Jacob will move up to international seniors. Taiga, Habin, and Denis will still be in juniors due to age. Unsure about Genrikh, Lucius and Yanhao who could go either way (but I'm guessing they'll go senior).

What a wonderful performance. What a wonderful champion. Congratulations, Rio. You were AMAZING. 
He seems like such an awesome human being .... holding up the picture of Grayson in the K/C
and his English is flawless. And his happy tears made me tear up to.
Also, huge congrats to Minkyu and Taiga.

Wonder if he is like other bilingual kids, and speeks different language to each of his parents
