Aight Naumov!

Unfortunately I died. Before I died I screamed “I love you Jimmy,” and screamed after he skated until I couldn’t scream any more. Then I died.

But you came back…

For some reason this costume on Ilia makes me think junior.

Looks like Friess and Hiwatashi work in the same Ristorante, yep?

Something tells me that this post isn't going to be popular but...

Good grief, did Johnny just say that Jimmy is a trained pianist? That makes the Clair de Lune mashup even more heinous.

Again, a wonderful skater who needs better music. Or at least better versions of his music.

Jimmy at least gave the second half his all and at least engages with the audience

 

[yelyoh]

And Ilia looking more than a little nervous.

I think Jimmy can finish in the top 6. It seems virtually impossible that all of the top 6 after the short can skate clean. That ice is hungry.

I actually think that calm, subtle music at the beginning of Jimmy's program got the job done. He has to think. He has to stretch. He has to emote. Then BAM! If he didn't book at least a ticket to 4CC's then I don't know what to say. Fingers crossed.

This should be in a mashup mix for Jimmy's SP next season.

Right before a quad…

*rises from the grave* My man Jimmy is a classically trained pianist who has played Carnegie Hall. Which is good because someone will have to keep me in 6.75 diet cokes.

And here come the guns. Fight it out guys. We're be watching from the cheap seats.

But you came back…

Did you hear me scream “I love you Jimmy?” Lol

Was thinking the exact same thing for the first 3/4's of the FS. Piano came through.

I did!!

Now I want to see him and Zach Lagha at the same concert!

I definitely thought his SP costume here was a downgrade

 

[YuBluByMe]

I’m pretty sure that was the best Naumov skated his free all season.

I'm thrilled to have Max Naumov back. I love his skating skills and style. I hope we get to see him on the Grand Prix next year.

Not clean but quite powerful! Love his stamina, he pulled it through to the end.
