'Fiamme Oro'
The men's singe figure skating is over at this year's Olympics, but I'm still a little bugged that Daniel Grassl didn't medal. I'm thrilled with Nathan Chen's gold, but I thought Grassl's exciting long program should have earned him a silver or bronze. The Italian figure skate is the 2022 European silver medalist, a 2019 World Junior bronze medalist, and a four-time Italian national champion
At just 15 Grassl became the youngest person to land a quad Lutz jump in international competition. He has continued to consistently land quads, including in Beijing. Grassl's downfall was his 12th place finish in the short program in the men's event. In the free skate, he only had a few minor errors in a three-quad program. Although his forth place finish was a personal best, it landed him seventh in the overall standings.
