Yuto Horigome:
Double Olympic champion Horigome returns to the location that earned him the gold medal in 2021. He’s already comfortably through to the Super Crown in Sao Paulo, but will be ready to trouble the scorers in front of his home crowd. Despite being 10th on the SLS rankings he’s favored to land the title in the land of the rising sun.
Sora Shirai:
Another local hero, Sora Shirai is one of the few skaters tipped to beat Yuto. Sora returns home after winning the SLS Sydney showdown last month and is brimming with confidence. We’ve seen him land 9.8’s with ease, and he’ll need more of those if he is to topple Horigome.
Felipe Gustavo
Brazilian Felipe Gustavo currently holds the last spot on the rankings that guarantees entry into the Super Crown final. Despite his third place ranking, Gustavo has only found the podium once in 2024.

Giovanni Vianna:
Talk about consistency. Giovanni Vianna has kept himself in the mix all season with two runner ups and two 4th place finishes. The Brazilian lands in the east as the top ranked SLS skater in 2024. The competition is fierce in Tokyo, but Vianna should challenge for a place on the podium.
Gustavo Ribeiro:
Gustavo Ribeiro is the second ranked SLS skater this season, with most of his points coming earlier in the season. He last found the podium in San Diego, but despite a slight speed wobble, he knows how to execute under pressure, after winning the 2022 Super Crown.
Chris Joslin:
With two podium finishes to his name, Chris Joslin has proved he still has much to give the skating fraternity. The veteran is the 7th best performer on tour this year and finished third in Sydney last month.
Expert Pick
Sora Shirai is the expert pick for SLS Tokyo 2024. He is in scintillating form coming into the penultimate stop on tour, and isn’t as favored as his countryman Yuto Horigome. A $20 wager on Shirai at +679 returns $155.80.
