2025 Grand Prix de France Men's Short Program

[Jeanie19]

Ilia. Nice outfit and a good program. Great skate.

Wow, I actually like Ilia’s costume for a change! What world am I living in?

I dislike it. and not sure what happened to his hair... it's like he let his 8 year old cousin try a curling iron on him.

good jumping as usual though the combo was a bit tight but his rotation is so fast and well positioned in the air that he landed it easily.

I don't agree with Chris who says that he is full package. no no no. not sure what he means by package but we definitely don't see eye to eye here Chris.

 

[SnowWhite]

Not sure about the brown faux-leather pants, but at least it's a proper costume without any spray-painted abs

 

[museksk8r]

His hairstyle is actually cute too. Wow, random girl crying hysterically in the audience. WTF?

 

[labgoat]

I like the stylized back cross rolls into the 3A from Ilia -nicely timed to the music

I said it first Chris...

 

[cheerknithanson]

So happy. Now I can weave the ends into the socks in peace.

 

[yuumagical]

Wow, Ilia just made everything look easy. Hats off to him.

 

[flanker]

Ilia's combo deserves a check but otherwise all clean.

 

[Karoltyna]

We must suffer all together until we get catharsis.

do we get it this season?

It looks like reverse Seimei cross overs.

 

[snowflake]

That was fantastic Ilia! Wow I admire him so much for doing his thing!

Leather world

 

[museksk8r]

Chris is a horrendous commentator.

 

[Kris135]

Just incredible. If he skates like this the OGM is his

i don't know you but i want the "why don't you speak" moment in the free

 

[Arriba627]

Gorgeous transition into the 3A! Like the program and the new hairstyle! Enjoyed the cool slides.

 

[Andrina]

He has a towel with his name and "quad god" printed on it.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Ilia is amazing but i´m a little disturbed by his hair it kinda looks like a bad permanent from the 80s

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Like this program on Ilia, but I wish he'd lose the backflip. Note to ISU: there was a reason you banned backflips many years ago, please rediscover the reason and apply it again.

Nobody including myself will deny the pure insane technical ability of Ilia Malinin, but I still struggle to see much artistic improvement from him. Not to say he hasn't improved, but more like a C->B improvement than a C->A or even a C->B+ improvement, at least to my very grouchy tastes. He relies too heavily on acrobatics and not enough transitions, body movements, and overall choreo for me to ever get invested in what he's portraying. But I am just a grouchy sleep-deprived fan and my opinions will not matter in the end
