2022-23 GPF Senior Men's Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

So everybody had a great 3A today, except the one who jumps 4A....

Axel Paulsen testing his metal

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Is Ilia the only one who got StSq4 here? I can't remember...

 

[maofan]

Unfortunate to miss 3A when you are the only one in the world doing 4A like nothing!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Auch that combo will hurt Ilia... Might be carrots....

Seems a bit tense today

Not surprising, this is probably the most pressure he's been under yet. It might help him deliver in the free skate, learning from this... but in general I do worry about the high expectations that have been set for him so quickly...

 

[Arigato]

That did not put a spell on me.

 

[purplecat]

Hope he isn't hurt, he looked to be wincing at the end.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I’m confused how that combo got a -2.85.

 

[yelyoh]

And Ilya messes up yet another SP.That should go into 4th. Ah Ilya!!

 

[Warwick360]

Surprised Illia's team played it safe. I would have thought they'd keep the 4F in there, considering the level of competition.

Zombie Axel Paulsen decided that it was hybris on Ilya's part

 

[Jeanie19]

Ilia. A couple of bobbles, but his step sequence is so good.

 

[yuumagical]

Really impressed with how Ilia's components have improved over the season. Don't think he'll take the lead over my little world champion, but still impressed.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

God, for a moment I thought he had Dany G. with him

 

[elektra blue]

am I imagining things or has he gotten taller since his last GP stage? His legs look longer?

Is it my imagination or is Ilia getting taller every time I see him?...Oh, not the skate he was hoping for.

boys grow over night

 

[cheerknithanson]

What…..80???? That’s too low…..

 

[Dawn825]

I’m confused how that combo got a -2.85.

A step out is -3 to -4

 

[yelyoh]

Oh I take that back. Fifth.

Axel Paulsen testing his metal

Axel Paulsen has a bizarre humor. PS: This was his way of telling he will come back hungry for axels in the FS, a small cliffhanger

I'm so happy that Shoma was the best today.
