2024-25 Senior Grand Prix Final Men's Free Skate

so many mistakes for Yuma's standards, i hope he isn't injured

It might be nerves because these mistakes may be more mental than anything else.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Yuma is beautiful but there is something missing.

I think he lacks charisma. He also has hit or miss programs.

 

[flanker]

Not Yuma as we know him.

 

[Vemvane]

Yuma is, as ever, wonderful to watch. His quad toe is a thing of beauty. I really enjoyed the spread eagle after the popped salchow, and loved the step sequence, with his fantastic use of different heights, and the choreographic detail of the little stamps. Was enjoying his performance of the step sequence so much I was shocked, I say, shocked, that it came out as a level 2, as I had forgotten that levels come from turns. His movements were so crisp when he struck his ending position!

Yuma, 2Salchow, really? Ugh! The program and non-jump elements are all magical though!

 

[Kris135]

Now it is Ilia turn to close it out.

 

[Arigato]

That kid is such a light. Give him another bear.

Yuma is beautiful but there is something missing.

Still personality

Ilia….you should run away with this if you don’t get in your own way. Do the thing!

 

[Seven Sisters]

I really feel like recently Yuma is just coming to get a silver.
Maybe he feels like he cannot get Ilya, so just stays safe.

No, I’m sure he would like those two jumps back. He wants to do his best always—nothing else is acceptable

I think your son is beautiful. Do you mind if I have a bit of a crush on him from afar?

i'm not ready to have daughters/sons in law yes i'm that kind of italian mama but from afar should be good keep it discrete

 

[Ares]

Alucard, is that you?

 

[lariko]

Ouch. Ilia, come on. Hold!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Come on Ilia, don´t go all crazy

 

[CellarDweller]

Oh shot!

Still personality

I think that was true today but I haven't felt that about any of his other skates in the past couple of seasons. I think personality and charisma are subjective and I get why his quiet and subtle expression doesn't resonate with people, but it works for me!

 

[flanker]

Malinin doesn't play small. Even with risks like now.

 

[moonvine]

Ilia!
