2022 U.S. Nationals: Senior Men's Free Skate

[Amei]

What if Malinin comes in 2nd?

Chaos...

 

[Wafflecakes]

What if Malinin comes in 2nd?

What if he comes in 1st?

2nd is already a lock.

 

[SnowWhite]

Oh man, the selection for the men is going to be interesting

 

[ks777]

YES, Malinin!! He is the real deal!

 

[anonymoose_au]

I sense danger for Vincent... They can't possibly leave Ilia at home with this skate?!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Alert - Ilia will go in 1st. His TES is 110+ according to the results page

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Malinin is an excellent jumper, but compared to the other top 3 US men, he is deficient in PCS. Still pretty juniorish. Will be interesting to see what the judges do.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Oh man, the selection for the men is going to be interesting

Isn't it always?

 

[lariko]

That was crazy

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I'm afraid Ross Miner situation from 2018 would be likely

Except Ilia is young, and has a VERY good shot at 2026 Olympics.

 

[Alchamei]

OMG MALININ!!! Wooooooow!!!

Now that made things interesting!

 

[Placebo11]

Wow!

 

[moonvine]

Yes, the real question is between Ilia and Jason and if they go by their selection criteria Jason may still get the spot even if Ilia beats him here

I would hope so.

 

[Joe Mendoza]

wow - he did that! yay Ilia!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

This amazing young talent is making me cry

Omg look at that TES, he is going to beat Vincent and Jason

 

[cheerknithanson]

HOLY MOLY YERSSSSSSS

 

[Mista Ekko]

His elements are all quite awesome

 

[skatesofgold]

Holy crap, that was awesome from Ilia!

 

[Makkachin]

Wow Ilia! That tech score is insane...he just jumps so easily

 

[kmw227]

Well Ilia officially has a new fan in me!!

Oh my god he’s going to beat Vincent, this event is insane!
