Kao’s music is a little too downbeat imo, don’t skate to something that makes more “sense” when you’re having a bad skate day…

Yeah, I know what you mean. It wouldn't have been my favourite choice of music either.

By the way, while I have the opportunity, I just want to say that I love your Veronica Lake avatar.

Well Kevin isn’t going to have the bottom tech score today…

(Still, Kao hung in there admirably)

I was a bit surprised to see the the +COMBO on Kao's first jump. But since his combo in the 2nd half got full mark, I'm guessing that first +COMBO will be changed then?

 

[tsuyoboogie]

I'll take it!
Go get it in the FS, Kao!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh Kao’s TES rose a bit on review?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Goooo Ilia!!!!

He's going to try the 4A?! I don't know...

It should. I didn't see any attempt to make the Salchow a combo.

Whoops, another 4A!

Ahem, why is it crossed out?

 

[elektra blue]

he did it...and it was invalid...

 

[YuBluByMe]

4A in the short!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Invalid element?!?!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Daaaang

He made that look like the easiest thing in the world!

But there's no score?! Is 4A not allowed in SP yet?!

 

[lileychristie]

ILIA DID YOU JUST DO THE HARDEST JUMP IN THE WORLD FOR NO POINTS AT ALL

Oh Kao’s TES rose a bit on review?

The 3T of the combo wasn't counted in the original calls because the panel assigned 4S+Combo to the first jump. Corrected then later

That 4A was

Do you think he knows?!

He's going to be so shocked at his scores if he doesn't?!

SP: 106.90 in what world is Ilia a 44.37 PCS skater? Shoma should be in first imo Yuma and Ilia's skating skills are not .5 apart

Obviously technically incredible, but I felt like the performances at France and SkAm were stronger PCS-wise

 

[elektra blue]

seeing a blong leggy boy kind of reminds me of my son Daniel and i suddenly feel sad...

 

[icewhite]

lollol I mean you can have different opinions on the value of a 4A but 0 points is definitely too low

 

[ana]

Ilia is a great jumper. Well done!

 

[elektra blue]

Invalid element?!?!

sure, bragging without thinking may cost you, you know, it has to be in combo to be valid

Oh phew!

That would have sucked if it hadn't counted.

Love your work, Ilia.
