It's just an error! Look at his last performances with all triples! So clean! What I'd he adds a quad? Then Russia lost a potential national champion. But like I wrote before seems like kovtun is favored no matter how he skates.
I am so, so interested to see what Dario Betti is like on ice. Does anyone happen to have any practice clips or knowledge of when he's competing first?
EDIT: I see his goal is the 2018 Olympics, so perhaps no competing until a season before then?
ANOTHER EDIT: Read on the interview that he's hoping to compete at Nationals. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing him compete!
