Worlds 2025 Mens Free: “Oh My Quad We’ve Come To The End”

[itsartemis]

Only injuries can stop Malinin going forward. He is not losing if he stays healthy. Unbelievable, this kid.

 

[beckab81]

Guess who has the highest PCS?

I’m fine with who got highest, but 2nd highest…

[Wyliefan]

Last year his dad was all GIANT HUG and now he's like, ho hum, just another world title.

 

[skategal]

Well I love his raspberry and he did it right in front of us in Grenoble, for those who have not seen him live you must it’s so much better! His technical ability is incredible.

Yes, watching Ilia win Worlds last year in a flawless performance was something I'll never forget.

 

[misskarne]

The fact that he scored only one point less than Jason in PCS is the joke. The rulebooks need to be re-written, but how you get judges to decouple quads from PCS is going to be an enduring mystery.

Also Jason was 4th in the free. Quality matters, folks.

 

[overedge]

It's the other aspects of skating that are his problem.

 

[slicekw]

I love Ashley, but that sweater color is tough.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Can we bring back snarky Ashley please?

 

[MacMadame]

Guess who has the highest PCS?

Guess whose PCS were within a point? I'm waiting for @tony to come in and complain about it.

Figure skating? Never change.

 

[Citlali]

Lovely podium

I would have love other combinations too, but I'm happy with how the night went

All in all a wonderful Worlds, the audience in Boston have been so supporting, truly a fun and emotional to watch

Or reputation scoring!

 

[Vagabond]

Guess who has the highest PCS?

The quadless journeyman, of course.

 

[SamChez]

Ilia's dad looks so much like Norman Bates

I’d shower with him

 

[overedge]

The ISU can toss these ridiculous on-the-spot interviews in the dumpster, along with the leader's chair.

 

[Wyliefan]

Baby Alysa and Baby Ilia, too cute!

 

[susieB129]

Nothing makes me hit the power button on the remote faster than Ashley's voice. Good night all, and thanks for another fun season.

 

[Lilia A]

I'm all for fair judging and I should be mad that Yuma is on the podium with that disaster of a FS but then I remember that these same judges gave Ilia 91+ PCS so we're even. If you're going to be generous with the home crowd/fed's favourite, you might as well also be generous with my favourite.

 

[overedge]

Ashley, he's not the new world champion, he was world champion last year

 

[KCC]

I love Jason and love Ilia, but maybe they could cross train a bit?

The womens and mens panels have been pretty generous all around. I am not sure how I feel about it.

 

[overedge]

I love Jason and love Ilia, but maybe they could cross train a bit?

IMO Jason's performance tonight is what figure skating is supposed to be, technical elements well executed and artistic interpretation of the music, equally balanced.

 

[Wyliefan]

Can we bring back snarky Ashley please?

I feel like Snarky Ashley is hidden away in there rolling her eyes at Gung Ho Ashley.

 

[slicekw]

Ilia has at least 6 skaters that will swarm him like coyotes if he so much as blinks next year. I hope he can keep his head together.

ETA: I think that’s what Raf was about by giving him the shaking finger coaching when he came off the ice.

 

[Private Citizen]

Well I love his raspberry and he did it right in front of us in Grenoble, for those who have not seen him live you must it’s so much better! His technical ability is incredible.

I agree. I realize he's not everyone's cup of tea and that his skating skills are not the best in the field, BUT he's far more than just a jumper. He makes an effort with choreography. He's getting pretty consistent and wholly deserved majority +5s in choreographic and footwork sequences.

 

[Lilia A]

Big congrats to Mikhail Shaidorov on winning a silver, well deserved. He's had a great season and I hope next season is even better. But also, a guy from Kazakhstan stands on the podium exactly 10 years after another guy from Kazakhstan stood on the world podium for the last time, and that guy was Denis Ten, and I'm gonna cry

 

[overedge]

Yuma still in shock that he's on the podium. I can't blame him.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Shaidorov is adorable.

 

[MacMadame]

He's not one of these "I can jump so who cares about the rest" skaters. He's constantly working on everything. It's one of the things I like about him.

 

[Karen-W]

Has the U.S. ever had World Champions in three disciplines in the same year?

Quick glance through Wiki and it doesn't look like it.

We had Men & Women in 53, 55-59, 82-83, 86 & 96, Women & Pairs in 79 & 22, Men & Dance in 24.
