  • 2013 Four Continents Champion.

Interesting Fact: In 2010 he became the first man to complete two quadruple jumps in the short program.

Chances: He is not seen as an outright favourite, but Reynolds is renowned as one of the biggest risk-takers in men’s figure skating, with some of the most ambitious routines in the field. If he hits his stride and has a clean program he could be standing on the podium, possibly next to teammate Patrick Chan.
