Show is great. It has some of the best character growth I've ever seen in only 13 episodes, and it's only gonna get better. Seriously, even if you can't stand "crybaby" characters like Inori, just stick through it, you'll be pleasantly surprised. The only negative things about Medalist I could mention are 1) Some awkwardly placed time skips, and 2) I'm no kid expert but I doubt 8-year-olds act like this in reality. Those things are EASILY overshadowed by how good everything else is. Skater-coach relationships, talented protagonist, skating animation, banger music, a good rivalry, likable main characters. You don't even need to know iceskating stuff, it's enjoyable anyway. I gave it a 9 cause 13 episodes understandably wasn't enough to flesh out the story, but season 2 has been already announced and I have no doubt future seasons are gonna be a solid 10.
