2024 Skate Canada Men's Short Program

[FlossieH]

Is Ilia skating with gold blades?

Looked like it, and I haven't noticed them before.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Handles pressure well!

 

[YuBluByMe]

I knew Ilia was gonna bring it because of how calm he looked when got on the ice. I think this is his best SP and, oddly, it was better than last week. Well done.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

[Karoltyna]

Between Shun and Sato plus Kao and, of course, Yuma...Japanese Nats will be tough!

(special PBP-er notes: I've had my criticisms about his artistry but wowwww. He has grown so much in these past two seasons with his artistry and musicality! I'm impressed with this! also, the height on that 4Lz was literally inhuman)

Interesting Ilia and his father speak Russian, not English at the boards.

Very good program. Huge growth artistically.

Why? I love the ending pose.

If it transitioned smoothly into the ending, I have no problem. But just my feeling, the choreography does not flow into it.

Whoo hoo! beautiful job from Ilia. Glad to see the improvement from last week.

(I wish that Jun had been able to at least keep 3rd place)

 

[Ichatdelune]

[Karoltyna]

Skating skills but jumps were exquisite

Very good program. Huge growth artistically.

Doesn't surprise me at all. My cousin's mother is from China, and they communicate in Chinese all the time.

[Arigato]

Interesting Ilia and his father speak Russian, not English at the boards.

Interesting. Hm. I'd choose a different word.
