I love that black gloves on him, really accentuate his hands' movements.

I wonder why not more men skaters wear black gloves, at least will make black blacks costume a bit more interesting

Good luck Rio!

And, go Nakata!

I like Sam Smith but if I have to hear one more of their songs...

 

[lileychristie]

YES original version of writings on the wall!

Rio's got those soft knees down .

I am not sure about his jacket decorations, they look so random. Not even Samarin-vibe random mystique. That’s where plain black would be my preference.

That´s a odd music mix

My husband: the movie was good but the theme worst ever Bond theme

Rio honey pick up your free leg please, just because Shoma gets away with it doesn't mean you will

Kudos to Rio for his dedication to the black costume theme. He even took out the colours of the Union Jack.

Young Bond was a bit rough around the edges but well it's his first mission abroad so forgiven

Who cares about the pops? Put him in first!

Super interesting how he has a 3A but his most consistent 3-3 combination is 3T+3T. Good JGP debut for him

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Im still shocked he has a 3A but his only triple triple is 3T-3T
But he is very adorable!

Black gloves are the only acceptable gloves for men.

Nice job, Rio
Held it together well enough
Proud if him

I dunno, the other Japanese athlete in this competition reminds me of Uno more… but I like Nakato as well
