Shun Sato produced the skate of his life to take the men's Junior Grand Prix title.
The Japanese was third after the short program but landed a quad Lutz and then a sumptuous quad toe loop in an exhilarating free skate.
He set a new free skate junior world record of 177.86, just one point behind the score of senior bronze medallist Kevin Aymoz.
And his total of 255.11, another world record, would have been good enough for fourth place in the men's Grand Prix proper.
Sato, who cites Yuzuru Hanyu as a role model but prefers pandas to Pooh bears, has well and truly emerged from the shadow of Japanese national junior champion Yuma Kagiyama who finished fourth.
And he may have booked himself a place at the Lausanne 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in the process.
