2026 U.S. Nationals Senior Men Free Skate

[yelyoh]

I wonder if Ilya will make the team.

 

[CellarDweller]

The only true wisdom is that you know nothing, except the fact that I'll be National Champion again! LOL

...who's voicing the narration on Ilia's music? It's not... it's not Ilia, is it?

 

[saine]

I think I've embraced the storm enough today, Ilia

 

[SmileHappy34]

I missed it . Ilia did a triple instead of a quad

 

[mirai4life]

damn jacob almost medaled

 

[museksk8r]

That is absolutely not happening when there's only a day in between the events for the men...It's not Ilia's fault the other us men can't get it together, and his individual chances shouldn't be jeopardized bc of them

Ilia could really dumb down his content in the team event and still win. As I’ve suggested many times, he could only do a 3 quad FS in the team event and still be the top man. Save the 4Axel for the individual event.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Oh god, it keeps going

If go by national. The men team would be Ilia, Andrew, Maxim. I didn't see that coming

 

[Jammers]

I hope if they offer the 3rd spot to Jason he turns it down he knows he's not good enough for the Olympics right now and another month won't matter.

dumbing down the content doesn't change the fact that doing back-to-back programs like that is tiring, plus taking into consideration the nerves he'll no doubt be dealing with...The team event is nowhere near important enough to risk it. Also, some of the reports Ive been hearing make me think there might be a slight injury, in which case, absolutely no to doing both portions

He gets the pewter 4th. I would have him above maximum though

 

[lileychristie]

Didn't expect Ilia to skate a watered-down tech content, I wonder why?

Still his watered-down provisional TES is 116

 

[16Olympics]

Ugh.

 

[Jeanie19]

Ilia. Great outfit and program. Only 3 quads, but still great.

 

[Seven Sisters]

It is. I kind of hate to break this to you

 

[SmileHappy34]

Nice skate Ilia. Another title. Great job. Congratulations

 

[nickp91]

Honestly ilia doesn’t need 7 quads to win this

If they did it would be bizarre.
