Nam has been improving at a phenomenal rate since moving to Orser. Last year he got the triple axel. This summer he got the quad. Since the fall he's improved his speed.... that bodes well for his future.
He has all the potential to become a world champion in the years to come. Totally exciting to have someone this good coming up in Canada.
And if Roman starts to get the big jumps, that's a second promising young man.He has all the potential to become a world champion in the years to come. Totally exciting to have someone this good coming up in Canada.
Yep. And he seemed to be mentally solid as well.
I don't even know what to say about a skate with a fall on a triple axel/quad supposedly putting the "pressure" on the leader, as per the commentator. Such is the state of Canadian skating
Nam was way ahead of the pack by a whole mile. I don't include Roman Sadovsky in this pack. Actually he was so good I would have put him on 3rd place. He was much better than Liam Firus.
Yes, Roman popped his Lutz, but he was amazing, no other mistake! 15 years old. Huge growth spurt...what a beautiful kid.
Yep. And he seemed to be mentally solid as well.
And he's already making a statement saying that he wants gold in 2018. He doesn't have to say that, as I don't think a lot of people are thinking quite so far ahead just yet considering he's still 16, but he's going there already. I think he ENJOYS the pressure and welcomes it.This is huge. With all the spotlight and the pressure of having a national title on the line many before him have crumbled. Not Nam. He thrived under spotlight and pressure here.

Oh he has said that he's aiming for Olympic gold in Pyeongchang even before this season started. And as you noted, that speaks well of his mental strength. If he continues to improve at his current pace, Patrick will have real competition at home, and I think the rivalry will be good for both of them.

I am very impressed with Nam's consistency and improvement over the past few years. And to think, two seasons ago, he was 13th in a Junior GP and people thought he was overhyped...
3 Cricket brothers at World podium ? Possible
