Camera Q@(#*&#

 

[NinjaTurtles]

You’re ****ing kidding me with this camera

 

[Theatregirl1122]

THAT was better!!! Still a little tight on the 3A.

 

[MacMadame]

Now I can relax! All "my" boys doing well today. So far.

 

[slicekw]

Seriously with the camera direction?????

 

[genevieve]

He's practically got the TES to lead by this point, I wish he'd just stop before the stupid music change. Up to that point was really incredible.

 

[canbelto]

Wow. Not ****ing around.

 

[kemc]

UGH! Camera feed missing half of Malinin’s combo

 

[overedge]

Adam's program was better than Ilia's. I said it.

 

[Carolla5501]

Can I slap the camera man or production team.
Its a combo make sure we see both landings

 

[Spikefan]

I would have this behind Adam but it won’t be.

 

[beckab81]

The jumping is incredible, but I want to give a moment to recognize what he's doing with his arm movements in the spin (they were lovely during the camel) - he's pushing himself to improve artistically, and we get to enjoy the results. Well deserved first.

Raf coaching the coach

 

[genevieve]

Skorniakov looks more emo about this than Ilia

 

[floridaice]

Raf & Roman

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, someone is feeling his oats.

 

[skatfan]

Lost a. Couple of levels. But really good!

 

[slicekw]

Room for Kagiyama after the short, but it’s going to be close.

 

[MsZem]

Who wore it better, Ilia or Brent?

He's incredible. I'd have it comfortably behind Adam

Alas the judges won't.

 

[miffy]

Louise said Raf was urgently flown in to support Ilia at the weekend. Was Raf planning to be there at all, or just not for the team event?

[Sasha'sSpins]

ILIA!!!

 

[flyingsit]

His quad flip is practically perfect

 

[YourBorneo]

Is that a StSq4 I see?

 

[Braulio]

Ilia better than at the TE short program, but still left some points in the axel and in one spin

 

[Private Citizen]

Ok, a Ilia is back. Intensity. Energy. A style all his own. If I have one tiny criticism, the spins are a bit throwaway.

The axel entrance is insane. I thought he modify it after the team event but that’s not Ilia, lol.

I noticed that too and really liked it! Really goes so well with the music!
