What is that . . .

the thing you called fashion police for, did you remove a traumatic experience?

 

[Arigato]

Is this a KPOP fandom or a sport? Just curious.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Not gonna comment on the program,but he need huuuge respect for using blue boots to compose it with costume.That is something that no one is doing and this need respect.Overall good performance,but could be better with 4A

 

[cheerknithanson]

NAILED IT!!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!!!

 

[Karoltyna]

Ok, Ilia tries to improve, we can see it. But still there is work to be done. The fake hoodie was so perfectly fine, bring it back...

 

[Paulipau]

Well he is the best. Nothing to add.

I think in few years with some more movement fluidity and sharper moves he can really be mind-blowing.

Ted speaking about people who've changed the sport: "John Curry, Toller Cranston, Nathan Chen maybe"

 

[Arigato]

the thing you called fashion police for, did you remove a traumatic experience?

HA!

 

[rabidline]

Ilia just simply does not need to think about his jumps, he can use his energy for doing everything else. Like it's genuinely a marvel to watch. Incredible.

 

[Ares]

Malinin is ridiculous, his 3A looks as easy as 2A for other skaters (but it makes sense as he nails 4As also which seemed like something impossible do in 2020 still). His jump in the step sequence always take my breath away and that Ina Bauer is beautiful. It will easily go over 100

 

[LazyFuzai]

Summary is that mens follow womens and falls are the main thema of short programs... Just hope for better free skates

I haven't watched Ilia at all this season and I like this SP for him, really suits his style.
Jumps are effortless as usual but his slow speed and rough glide is definitely noticeable especially after Yuma skated. Still deserves to lead here of course

 

[YuBluByMe]

I hate the costume, but I think that was the best performance of his SP. He was committed to the choreography; I can tell he really likes the song. I also knew he will skate clean. His technical prowess isn’t what separates him from everyone else, but his nerves.

 

[elektra blue]

HA!

HE

 

[auser]

Wow.. so well executed. Well done and congrats doesn't even begin to cover it Ilia!

And like it always did for MacGyver, the duct tape worked!

Ilia goes into a massive lead.
