What are all those black plushies thrown for Ilia!? Toothless?

[mirai4life]

Yup. He loves Toothless.

What is Toothless??

 

[yelyoh]

A terrific skate by Ilya. High PCS this time.

 

[maofan]

What boot problem?!!
He is out of this world!

 

[Janice4th]

So we have Jason to thank for Ilia?

 

[labgoat]

Ilia is out of this world amazing...

 

[nickp91]

A surprise for Ilia! Fans threw “How to Train Your Dragon” plushies

 

[Arigato]

Johnny, I hate to tell you this but there are guys who skate in brand new boots at the actual events. That means one day in. Two weeks is nothing.

 

[lileychristie]

What is Toothless??

That cute black dragon from How to Train your Dragon

 

[labgoat]

And they haven't even skated the freeskate yet...

Get some sleep!!!

I admire Ilia's composure under pressure the way he does. So focused and determined despite knowing he could jump all triples and win but he always goes for more. This shook out as expected for the sp. Jason has to be disappointed with his mistakes. He has to do better but he's still in it. Yay for Tomoki and Max. Please, skating Gods, let them all have a skate worthy of good memories and fun.

Sam Mindra wins for having best hair colorist among all four disciplines!

 

[CoyoteChris]

So if Tomoki goes to Italy, will his coach already be there???? Asking for a friend.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Yes Ilia is. But the score shows he has no competition.

Oh, Wow! Enjoyable skates from Max, Tomoki and Jason but so thrilling to see Ilia skate. What a fun reaction he had at the end and too funny about the Toothless stuffies. Nice interview with Andrea after. I like Johnny's commenting on the USA channel.
