Shun didn't fall in short! That's enough for me!
He improved a lot in non-jumping elements!
Thank you monsieur Cizeron

Ilia to Rinky: Not today.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Great

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I can definitely see improvements in performance and jump flow, I really appreciate that Ilia is putting in the work to improve himself and be more all-rounded

 

[tabsy]

[EdgeCall]

Clearly wins the day. Even Rinky is awed!

 

[Weathergal]

Ilia ole!

 

[labgoat]

I really like this program for Ilia - it gives him a clear piece of music and style that matches his drive. He is beginning to really interpret music and play with the crowd. Well done young man.

 

[Princessroja]

Wow. That was really something.

Ilia. Nice red shirt that goes well with a tango. Great skate.

 

[anonymoose_au]

That's Ilia's dad? I was about to say he looks nothing like him, but they've got the same nose.

Nice opening pose! If I tried that I'd fall over and/or never be able to get up

Am I tripping or is something going on with the color of Ilia’s hair? Anyways, great skate. Ilia’s one of those skaters that I don’t worry about. I can just watch and enjoy the skate. He’s improving quite a bit.

 

[labgoat]

Well off to the hospital to work...see you tomorrow. Rewatch will be done when I get home.

 

[momrk]

That was a great skate. So glad for him, improvements for sure and great under pressure.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I think I might eat more cheesecake after this.

 

[yelyoh]

Big step forward for Ilia in component aspect. Full out step sequence. Bravo!
