Please feel free to post info (photos/videos from past shows this year, upcoming shows & broadcasts) and/or reviews if anyone attends a show.

Interesting to see how Ilia pronounces his own last name - it's not how some commentators pronounce it. :shuffle:

Yes, that is interesting. Maybe more of an 'American' pronunciation than the Russian one? (I asked a Russian-born coach at my rink about the pronunciation and she said the accent is on the second syllable.)

Off topic, but for Ilia himself, the Americanized pronunciation of Malinin (with stress on first syllable) seems to be his default pronunciation, AFAIK.
I have heard Ilia use the Americanized pronunciation of Malinin many times online; as just one example, a link that I happened to save from end of 2022:
And when I (as just a random spectator) politely asked Ilia in person to pronounce his last name for me (in Lake Placid in 2022), he used the Americanized pronunciation of Malinin.

(I dislike that announcers/commentators often disregard Ilia's own pronunciation of Malinin.)

They may not be aware of how Ilia pronounces his last name, and use the same pronunciation that they used for Tatiana.

I usually try not to grumble about pronunciations from announcers/commentators.
But Ilia has been on the U.S. senior podium since 2022. At least for announcers/commentators based in the U.S., my opinion is that by now they should have made it their business to be sure how Ilia himself pronounces Malinin. For announcers/commentators in the U.S. who do not use Ilia's own pronunciation, either they have not bothered to check (and such complacency would be indefensible, IMO) or else they think it is fine to ignore Ilia's own pronunciation.
When they are making a direct reference to Ilia's mother, I would have no problem with Russian pronunciation.
But when they are making a direct reference to Ilia and focusing on him, I wish they would use Ilia's own pronunciation.

Sorry, Sylvia, I will stop hijacking your thread now.

I may have started this thread but it's not mine. ;)

"Video recording at this show is only allowed with mobile devices, so the quality is low. What is different from the ISU recording was only focused on skaters."

Tatjana Flade has shared 4 photos from last night's KINGS ON ICE show in Tallinn:
Kings on Ice in Tallinn! A beautiful show and thanks to Ari Zakarian for bringing this event to Europe. The Tallinn ice holds many memories for some skaters. Here, Ilia Malinin debuted at Junior Worlds in 2020, finishing 16th and now he came back as World Champion. It was nice to see and hear violonist Edvin Marton again. Looking forward to seeing more of these shows in Europe! Discover some highlights in the carousel. More photos to come!
The skaters (Ilia, Loena, Lukas Britschgi, both Selevko brothers, Niina Petrokina, Arlet Levandi, Metelkina/Berulava, Alexia Paganini, Polina Edmunds, Philip Warren, Clement Pinel-who backflips while holding torches of fire!) have been sharing fans’ clips and photos in their Instagram stories.
