2026 Olys Mens SP PBP - A Minion Ways to Dies (Irae)

[reckless]

Because the Quad God wants to be added to the Olympus pantheon.

Isn't it because part of the music is from a Prince of Persia video game?

 

[beckab81]

Great event overall, I'm scared for the free.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Isn't it because part of the music is from a Prince of Persia video game?

Yes.

 

[millyskate]

Adam had the skate of the night. Ilia was okay and Yuma has an error. Should be 1. Ilia 2. Adam 3. Yuma

With a small gap between Malinin and Adam, and 8 points at least to Yuma.

 

[flyingsit]

Ok, who would have predicted Torgy in 8th?

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I'm fangirling over Valentina

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

OK, it`s going to be Ilia and either Yuma or Adam. Cha great tonight but not the same commitment. What can you do? He`s Korea`s glam boy.

 

[umronnie]

Aymoz missing the final group because of Grassl and Shaidorov PCS. welp.

Maybe he can control his nerves if he's not in the top group.
A girl can dream.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Torgy and Naumov were great today! So proud!

 

[rfisher]

I got the results I wanted so I don't have to give up watching skating for another day. Or tomorrow. Maybe.

 

[Hedwig]

I am okayish with the order of the first three but Kagiyama not even a point above Malinin in PCS is criminal. Why are his skating skills not rewarded more? It is very frustrating. I would have Adam a little bit closer to the top as well but the two harder quad from Ilia clinched the deal and that is okay.

still not okay with Grassl vs Junhwan

 

[Asli]

Major meh at Malinin outscoring Adam on components.

Insane!

 

[Spikefan]

So mathematically speaking gold is a done deal right.
Fingers crossed Adam and Yuma hold their positions ( on the podium, I don't particularly care what colour )

Pretty much, only silver/bronze to be decided.

 

[Nadin]

So many great performances tonight, good to see these guys bringing it!

 

[Citlali]

Grassl in the final group

Nothing is a given to me. Ilia has have multiple errors already and he is losing levels on elements. He is one pop or a +rep call from losing his lead.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I think Ilia has been practicing the 4A so much his timing is off on the triple.

 

[MsZem]

In sum:
Maxim Naumov did his parents proud.
A good night for Adams.
Axels are dangerous.
The judges seem to have also hit the booze at some point; there can be no other explanation for some of the PCS.
Camera people/director may have also hit the booze.
Skaters have horrible taste in music.
Lady Gaga is, in fact, Lady Gaga.
Nika Egadze needs a haircut and he's not the only one.
Yuma should teach everyone about running edges and flow out of jumps.
Carolina still a goddess.

 

[jenny12]

A bit disappointed that Yuma didn’t go clean but still solid skate following Ilia. Enjoyable event even if I’m sad for Shun.

 

[Karen-W]

Nothing is a given to me. Ilia has have multiple errors already and he is losing levels on elements. He is one pop or a +rep call from losing his lead.

With the sheer # of quads he's attempting in the FS, he's more than one pop or a +rep call from losing his lead over the rest of the field with a 5+ point lead coming in from the SP.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Great event. Yuma is so smooth and the interpretation outstanding. Really pleased for Adam. That was an excellent skate.

 

[jenny12]

Major meh at Malinin outscoring Adam on components.

And Yuma

Yeah Adam really doesn’t get rewarded enough. Definitely brought it with the emotion today.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Ok, who would have predicted Torgy in 8th?

Someone was talking about at some point you have to depend on a skater for them rise. Andrew and Max really showed they deserved the spots from USFS. (Also, glad Jason not here. Almost EVERYBODY has a reliable quad. He`d looked pale by comparison)

 

[Aussie Willy]

I think Ilia has been practicing the 4A so much his timing is off on the triple.

I agree. It is not as smooth as it should be.

 

[marbri]

Don't toy with me and get my hopes up .

 

[skatfan]

Whew, that was an anxiety producing experience. Loved Adam especially, glad that Ilia skated up to his potential. Yuma just had that one mistake, but his expression wasn’t quite what it was in the team either. OK with the results. And our US men all did either equal or above what we expected - yay!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Yuma and his Dad look so much alike

I have noticed in the past that they look alike, but this is the first time I've noticed they have the same hair.

 

[Skaterbob]

In sum:
Nika Egadze needs a haircut and he's not the only one.

Haha yes Ilia needs a good trim to that bush. Mikhail next in the chair.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, folks, quick bathroom break before I go log back onto the work computer for a few hours where there will probably be not much for me to do. This was great today!

 

[Aussie Willy]

Haha yes Ilia needs a good trim to that bush. Mikhail next in the chair.

Oh come on their hair is so cute and they are young uns. Best to have it now because maybe later on they won't.
