2024 CS Lombardia Trophy Men's FS

Yuma is a brilliant skater, and clearly works very hard, but—I don’t think this program is a natural fit for him, either. It felt a bit frantic

There is some hard stuff in between the jobs. Wait until it gets some more mileage

 

[Kris135]

Now let's see if Ilia can beat that.Now we are going to darkl side

Bad music for Kagiyama, as well. Perhaps Selevko could give him some tips because he did not pull that off. The best part was the step sequence.

disagree here.. he does well with the Flamenco... not sure Selevko would give him tips... tango isn't the same thing at all.

I spy blood on the sleeve

 

[FlossieH]

Has he been getting "blood included in costume design" lessons from Anthony Paradis...?

 

[RatedPG]

It is clear that Shun Sato has stepped up as Japanese #2. To me, it is going to be a battle for the third spot at Nationals

 

[Carol1]

This program is trash. Take it away. Bolero would be a better idea.

Yuma is not yet ready to compete i see. i hope he's not injured. liked the program for him

He took some time off in July for pain (not injury afaik) but says he's recovered. This is a big BV increase for him - it's now comparable to his 2022 Olympic layout, which is a big ask. Considering this is his first comp and he has a long ways until the GP, this was just fine.

I will never get over the ease with which Malinin jumps. Now I am crazy about his InaB too. And, oh, boy, backflip. He is just showing everything. Everything. Every time. Wild!

It´s impossible not to like Ilia, he is such a crazy kid

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

So, does he get a deduction now for falling, like they used to give to Shmuratko?

 

[FlossieH]

Backflips scare me.
That surely must be the win?

 

[YuBluByMe]

Yeah, this program’s awesome!
The blood on the costume, the ending pose, the emo lyrics! And he takes it seriously too! Way to go!

 

[labgoat]

Ilia’s ability to land such difficult elements exactly to the music is quite impressive. I think his style is different and unique. With his blonde hair, almost reckless abandon and flair for drama he looks like the evil son of Charlie White

 

[4everchan]

ok well... i will not make many friends but i really didn't like Ilia's LP. sorry not sorry. even the jumps weren't that fluid today though I will give him a pass on this because it's early in the season

 

[FlossieH]

So, does he get a deduction now for falling, like they used to give to Shmuratko?

I had the same thought. The answer will be 'no', though.

 

[elektra blue]

in the original song he gets burned at the stake, -5 goes what can i say, we all know Ilia can jump, he proved it already, everything else is meh, maybe the program will improve with time (15 yo me likes the song)

 

[lariko]

It´s impossible not to like Ilia, he is such a crazy kid

The most amazing thing that he always backs up his middle finger with capability. The best of teenage engines and mature prowess. I dunno to how even describe it.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Dying on the ice we haven't seen that in a while

He has a good vehicle with this program and his tricks are placed right to the music, but I found his performance to be flashy yet not fully with substance. As in, he knows what he's supposed to do and he does them to the best of his abilities but he's not actually feeling it. He has improved, that is clear, but he is yet to move Ichat the Grouch. We'll see if he does later on.

Apparently I have once again achieved the impossible. If I had a dollar for every time a doctor or a skating fan on the internet said that to me . . .
