2025 Grand Prix de France Men's Short Program

[el henry]

Shallow thoughts:

I like the fact that it is a costume, a real costume, of course I expected Gladiator, but with Ilia, that's not going to happen.

I like the hair. I think it suits him. Then again, my father had beautiful curly blond hair,, so I may be prejudiced,

What I think about the program is irrelevant. A force of nature. Congratulations.

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.

Costumer: I need a meter of bedazzled banding for this outfit.
8 year old cousin: buy the roll, and just keep wrapping.
Costumer: done!

Kao small medal! (do GPs award small medals?...why don't I know that?)

Do your best in the FS too, child!
Keep training safely and diligently

What is ideal man's costume BTW?

it depends on the man and the program

do we get it this season?

spoiler: no

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

we don't need another hero, but maybe another perm

Well, I am thoroughly disappointed about the skates of Frangipani, Britschgi, and Siao Him Fa. These guys have it all to be challenging the top men in the world, but they are so freaking inconsistent! All 3 need to go back in their cages for more disciplining, darlings!

I was thinking he was possessed by the spirit of Greg Brady!

Ilia is not skating to Gladiator music so why is costume is like that ? It's a big no for me, It doesn't match the music.

I just hope we don't get Modigliani and Toulouse-Lautrec next year.

Is it possible we just saw so many Gladitor programs that we associate the costume to be Gladitor like? I don´t know, maybe he is trying to mess up perception and I´m here for it

why not bringing up other primadonnas, i don't know Raffaelo and Beato Angelico? Mozart and Beethoven?

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

well.. I am happy. shopped... ate a treat... watch my Frangi (yes, happy despite the mistakes) and I feel that you are very generous.
To me the imrprovement is more like a C+ going to a B-

I want Klimt

yup, quite accurate

I looked up what Adam's program is about, well, I am not sure what the connection to this music is and I am sorry, I didn't understand the story, but the costume is kinda necessary. It's the only thing that really connects this program with Leonardo da Vinci. I mean, he still needs a circle though...

 

[Ichatdelune]

What is ideal man's costume BTW?

If you ask me, something like Jin Boyang's here: with color and sparkles, has a coherent theme, and is not overloaded with ideas

 

[museksk8r]

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

Yeah, it’s odd! Maybe he’s a boxer in another multiverse?

let's give him gigantic hula hop and look if it influences his axis

Thanks...I'm a bit of a mess right now
My covid wrecked brain likely resembles the shirt from Mihhail's costume
