2021 JGP France: Men's Free Skate

i have to say that missing the podium after such a performance is a good thing ... corey, even if i support him a lot, should not be on the podium with such a skate.... 0.11 points behind... that will teach him how one can lose a lead.

ouch, scary fall!

Not Ilia's day either

Man don't you hate it when you land all your jumps in practice, but not during the competition.

Sasha T sends her regards I guess.

Not many clean skates

 

[Seven Sisters]

Young Ilia is getting it done, more or less, but it certainly is not pretty

 

[anonymoose_au]

Nice spins from Ilia though!

But wow two French on the podium...nice!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Oof - Another rough skate! He showed some good fight in there, despite the problems. He seemed very disconnected from the music though - It just seemed to be in the background for him. I far preferred his SP.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Maybe I jinxed the men by watching

 

[Jontor]

Ilia has done it, but lots of mistakes. Good of him to come back fighting at the end. He really needed it.

Wasn´t expecting the 3A-euler-3S so late in the program after that start. Nice comeback!

The mens FS wasn´t what I hoped at all, but I guess the altitude and start of the season was really a battle for everyone.

 

[4everchan]

malinin also struggled....they all look exhausted...

 

[elektra blue]

these boys are so young and green, getting nervous and messing up at their very first big international event it's just normal. they'll bounce back

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Maybe I jinxed the men by watching

That's what I was thinking too! I just made it in time for the last three and... yikes...

 

[4everchan]

Maybe I jinxed the men by watching

totally your fault...

 

[momrk]

Program has good potential if he can deliver it

 

[cheerknithanson]

At least he won!!!! DMV proud!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Courchevel once again takes its toll on the young men. That was painful

 

[YuBluByMe]

Wait, that was Malinin??? I didn’t recognize him. That last spin was actually fairly good.

 

[Hyena]

Definitely a mixed bag for Ilia. Could not get it at the beginning but pulled some nice combos out at the end.

I have a feeling both he and Corey are already looking ahead to their next assignment to improve on their performances here.
