Tomono was 11th in SP so his silver even after great FS was rather impossible. And why Aliev should have been bronze while Kolyada, Bychenko and Vasiljevs were ahead of him and both Kolyada and Vasiljevs beat him in both segments?

The result was shocking but we should also accept that we’ll never know what went wrong. Cockiness, the team competition, overhype etc are all just guesses because we can never know what would have happened in an alternate universe. I hope Ilia doesn’t overreact and try to change everything about his approach. The truth is he could have just had a bad day: simple as that.
Because Tomono and Aliev did better?
My point with the post is that I feel Milan 2018 worlds was a turning point for skating, where judges genuinely stopped caring about even slightly accurate judging. It kept snowballing and has become the mess we saw here in the same venue.

Um... OK.
I'm trying, but I seem to keep falling back into those old unreal and dishonest ways.

I am insulted . No i feel u telling truth.
People omit not stating it their personal opinion.
The assumption is it's your personal opinion.
It not stated.
Not everyone gets it personal opinion
People may think that they personal know ilia and are sharing what they know of the skater
Or something they were told by a friend, familt member, sponsor, or affiliate with skater.
Not that they dont know the skater.
So I said your personal opinion.
I am hoping u don't know ilia but what u want ilia to do as alot of other people.

I think it goes without saying that we are all just stating our own opinions. I do think Ilia will keep skating, mainly because he has already said he intends to. But none of us know for sure. It seems some posters very actively want him to not keep skating, which I do not understand, but we are all entitled to our own wishes I suppose.

Dick Button put it best. When he was upbraided with,"That's just your opinion!" replied, "Of course it's my opinion -- I wouldn't say it if it weren't my opinion."
I do, however, like it when posters throw in an occasional, "It seems to me..." or "in my humble opinion..."
I am always amused by the "broke his silence" headlines. It's been like 24 hours since the event, and we already have Chen's perspective. I do agree that it is thoughtful and that he went through a similar experience. So I don't take issue with the article or with him speaking, but with the headline.
Chen "talked about" or "spoke about" or "gave his perspective", but he didn't have much of a silence to break!
Edited to add: in my opinion.

Personally I find all this media bullshit after the loss hypocritical and annyoing. Frantcially looking for someone to blame or someone to explain.
Maybe he just had a bad day, maybe it was the pressure, but dissecting him now after hyping him up before is the same kind of unnatural amount of click-baiting attention he could probably do without right now.
And I'm saying this as a certified non-fan.

It's not impossible to get silver after being 11th in the SP, and obviously there is a disagreement with the judging. Tomono in 2nd and Aliev in 3rd is the correct result of 2018 Worlds. Shoma and Kolyada were massively overscored on PCS for tentative performances where they each fell 3 times, while Tomono and Aliev were underscored for delightful performances (particularly the former).

i see some people took it well, so well that now they wish that Misha takes his bags and gets himself out, as if he never existed. so much for sportmanship. honestly i wish he stays a full quad and gets rewarded for his talent, i also wish he improves in the areas where he's lacking at the moment (which, btw, he's doing). life is unpredictable, ice is slippery and sometimes favourites don't win (one of the reasons why i hate the habit of overhyping people putting so much pressure on them) take a moment to breath, get out of your house, go watch a movie, life goes on. i actually feel bad for Ilya, no one should melt down under the eyes of the world, but honestly i don't feel bad for these kind of non fans
You say so? Actually I remember Aliev doing great at Olympics but I don't remember him from Worlds at all. There was a storm of applause and ovation after Tomono's performance but he lost too many points in SP. And it needed Vasiljevs to be also overscored to keep Aliev from bronze. Would it be this one and only situation when a Latvian was overscored to stop a Russian? That's really interesting, I must check.

I feel like the media should only use "break their silence" until after a week AT LEAST goes by without a comment.
I heard Kurt Browning was very good with his commentary for the men's event. I wish I could have heard him, especially for the last three skaters.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. What? I just watched this wonderful Instagram video of an IDance couple getting engaged, but now I have to read about toxic trash going on? I still don't know exactly what has happened. What are they doing to Panda Man?

I think that part of the problem is that a lot of of these media outlets have separate "headline writers" whose job it is to stick an eye-catching click-bait headline onto someone else's article. Often the headline is totally misleading in terms of what the article is actually about.
Even more annoying: burying the lede. Headline: "Famous movie star crushes rival with a witty one-word riposte." Then the article goes on for paragraph after paragraph and never does get around to mentioning the one word.

if the gesture is nice... it really made me feel ill as I remembered that Denis was stabbed when he caught guys stealing his cars' mirrors.
