I noticed him and Kovalev are very close in PBs currently, though Kovalev has yet to skate his second assignment. Junior nationals will be so much fun.
Not the cleanest of landings on some of the passes, but no major missteps or apparent URs... Could he finally be becoming more consistent? Hoping he wins jr nationals.
eta: I can see why commentators are always talking about the "flow'" that Japanese skaters have.
