Tsukasaaaaaa!!!! This whole time we've been led to believe he was so-so, but this performance was great! I never thought about fingertips in skating, but this anime has brought them to my attention numerous times.

From what I've read, when the manga author decided to make a figure skating manga, they actually took figure skating lessons themselves until they unfortunately injured their leg. They also visited many skating rinks and clubs to better understand the sport and the people involved. In one interview, the author said that after seeing how passionate all the young skaters were, practicing over and over again even when their coach wasn't watching, they realized there couldn't be a true antagonist in Medalist. Everyone is simply doing their best, each with their own struggles and dreams. I think this episode might be the one that shows that idea better than any other. The anime staff also went the extra mile by bringing in two former Olympic figure skaters for motion capture and consultation, which is probably one of the reasons why the skating feels so authentic and expressive.

The reason Rio calls Tsukasa-sensei by his last name is partly because Tsukasa-sensei's surname, "Akeuraji," is completely uncommon (it's not even a real surname in Japan) — so much so that "nobody around him can remember it" is practically a running joke. So I think Rio using Tsukasa's last name is his own way of showing respect, like saying "I'm the one who remembers his surname." On top of that, there's also a cultural reason: in Japan, especially in workplaces, people more often address each other by surname, and calling someone by their first name is actually quite rare. It's not that unusual for a child to call someone by their first name, but if a child did that, it would come across as familiar and affectionate, while at the same time also sounding a bit childish. I also think Rio wants to come across as more mature/grown-up, so calling Tsukasa-sensei by his last name is probably part of that too.
