I think it depends on what sort of shape Grassl is in - is he dealing with some sort of injury? That FS was an absolute mess today but he's the only hope Italy has of beating Egadze in the FS segment - when he's able to stand up all of his jumps, that is. Rizzo may be able to keep it close in the SP, but that's presuming he can repeat the SP from this week in Milano.
Unfortunately, Rizzo has certainly had his share of problems this season. I don't think his swings are as big as Grassl's, though. Grassl's swings aren't Aymoz level and Grassl was doing better earlier in the season, but his quads often aren't that great even when landed and you really don't know what you are going to get with him. From a biased perspective, I much prefer Rizzo, so I'm hoping to see Rizzo in the team event. But, I wouldn't be surprised if Italy puts their chances in the hands of the Pope.
Bob Prevost might have done better out there than Grassl today.
"Swings at the Aymoz level" could have been a reputation level.
The little boxes would have varied unpredictably from solid red to solid green and back.
