Gold medal AND a ticket to the GPF!!!! WHOOP!!!!!!! Go Ilia!!!

 

[16Olympics]

Ilia is just a wonder. Two gutsy free skates to pull up from 2nd and 6th to win gold twice. What poise he has to go along with his talent and improving grace. Congrats, Ilia!

Tomorrow's the day!!! Ahhhhhh. Maybe I'll download Peacock on my phone since he'll be skating while I'm at work...

 

[cheerknithanson]

It’s going to be a game of catch up, but he can certainly pull it off and win a medal.

From what I understand, he seems to be injured. He did mention that after Espoo. Let's hope he has a better FS and can at least get a bronze.

He was wearing big orthosis already in Finland and told that in reality he shouldnt skate at least more 2 weeks because of stress facture...i am not sure what his coaches thinking.
