he is only 16, just grew several inches taller within a few months and still managed to skate two clean programs with if not fabulous style, decent connection. I'm more than impressed with his potential.... I can't wait to see what he can bring next year. Exciting. I don't know many skaters at 16 who have such a strong package already.
Nam has quite a ways to go before he'd be a threat to Hanyu and Fernandez. With a quad, Nam couldn't even beat Jason Brown without a quad because he is slow, a little stiff, and he lacks the audience connection the men who beat him at Worlds have.
