Damn he landed that back flip on one leg?? It looked really smooth

 

[lariko]

Absolutely clean, with ease and flow, and those soft arms, soft eyes in the beginning. Ilia did great!

 

[Ichatdelune]

I may not be enamored with his artistic side but who can argue with that tech, he is going to win everything going into the Olympics

 

[bartlebooth]

He out-Suryaed Adam on the back flip!

 

[cocteautwin]

Ilia, drop your daily menu. I'm really curious what does he eat.

Yeah, he is doing different one in SP and FP

 

[Ares]

No 4A from Malinin today but still insanely difficult and beautiful to watch.

 

[EdgeCall]

Gosh ... no comment. He owns the rink and nobody can touch him.

 

[Karoltyna]

Jumps are gooooood, hair is ok, outfit is rather ok/slightly meh, but where is the program gone?

 

[GGFan]

First time that Ilia has had a step sequence that was memorable to me. He does some interesting things in the program. I appreciate the experimentation, even if everything does not work. There are swaths of Plushenko arm waiving but in men's figure skating I think it's more than enough to get the second mark.

Iliabubu i die ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Apparently he hates labubus.

 

[FlossieH]

I need to see Ilia's programme with more sensible camera work. They were doing such weird things with the arty shots that I have no idea what it was like as a programme.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

You got to give it to Ilia, he doesn´t just want to make history with jumps, being a quad good and taking titles, he is eager to become known as a fashion icon on the ice, doing quirky programs and skating to his own voice I love that he is so YOLO

 

[Ichatdelune]

That was mostly fun minus the splats, thank you all for keeping me company, I will proceed to go find a bridge to jump off of so that I don't have to watch my darling next week

 

[Jeanie19]

Ilia. Great outfit and a good program. Great skate. All greens.

 

[Paulipau]

Yea you are selling and im buying Ilya.

Looks better when the program is more empty, he just goes fast and it holds together.

His short is too messy, he is not finishing movements and it's all looking sloppy.

 

[Kris135]

WOW This program is pure gold. This could be one the greatest program in figure skating history.

 

[yuumagical]

I really enjoy the way Ilia's costume looks with his 80's hair.

When I watch Ilia skating, I'm like does he is human !
Even if his weakeness is the PCS, he is unstopable with the TES, he even doesn't need quad axel to win the Olympic.
That's amazing !
