That's gonna win by eleventy billion points. Papa trying to keep his sh*t together, but that probably won't last

 

[clairecloutier]

Great jumps from Ilia, but he definitely needs a big upgrade next year in program selection and choreography. This program, I'm sorry, is dullsville.

 

[Colonel Green]

I'm surprised Tatiana didn't come to see her boy's triumph.

Agreed. This FS is nothing special, but he's got a good team behind him, so I'm sure it will come with time.

 

[Wyliefan]

I'm surprised Tatiana didn't come to see her boy's triumph.

Ilia said once that he's allowed to pick the parent he wants to come with him, and he tends to pick his dad, because his mom gets too nervous!

Doesn’t Ilia have a sibling? His dad is usually the one to go with him to competitions.

 

[MacMadame]

Awww Ilia is so sweet. Amazing skater but he just looks so young! Imagine what he could achieve if he can stay healthy.

I know. I hope he isn't one that peaks mid-quad. That would be so unfair!

 

[Amy L]

Raf told Ilia that he did well in Russian, then shook his hand. That's about as happy as he can get, right?

Yes, his little sister is 6 or 7.

I think he prefers his dad at competitions because his dad remains calm and steady.

I think he has a very young sister, which is why only one parent travels with him at a time.

It's about a million times better than his short, though.

 

[Karen-W]

Raf told Ilia that he did well in Russian, then shook his hand. That's about as happy as he can get, right?

He also hugged him when he came off the ice. We can't expect much more reaction from Raf until 2026 (hopefully), lol.

 

[clairecloutier]

LOL. I do not remember what his short is, despite having seen it several times.

 

[Wyliefan]

LOL. I do not remember what his short is, despite having seen it several times.

Emo "Billie Jean."

I liked it better here than I have in previous events - he looked like he relaxed a little in the second half. But I agree, I’d like to see more of his personality in both programs next season.

There was no way that was going to even be close, but I’m glad that after a few ups and downs this season, he got to finish with two solid performances. That will hopefully be a nice confidence-boost going into next season.

 

[Karen-W]

Disagree.

LOL. I do not remember what his short is, despite having seen it several times.

The David Cook cover of Billie Jean is a much better program for Ilia than this Woodkid FS.

 

[Amy L]

Bluesy rock cover of Billie Jean. Not my favorite, though the oddly blinged out costume does kind of give him away as a Russian kid.

 

[ChelleC]

My work break happened just as Ilia was finishing. I rewound back and watched him. First jump looked like a lot of snow. He's leaving points on the table with some of the spins. That said, this kid is special, has an excellent team around him. Bring on the next quad, the Ilia vs. Yuma quad. I'm ready.

 

[jenny12]

Great job from Ilia! He really has beautiful jumps. The rest of his skating will grow with time.

 

[Trillian]

Disagree.

The David Cook cover of Billie Jean is a much better program for Ilia than this Woodkid FS.

I don’t think he particularly sold either of them and I’m not a fan of any version of “Billie Jean,” but I do agree that the short was probably better packaging on a superficial level.

Next season I’d like to see him skate like he cares about his music. He’s got good fundamentals, the performance will come with time.

 

[Karen-W]

Nice for the Japanese men to salvage some sort of dignity with a bronze here, by the way.

Does Kazakhstan even have 3 junior age-eligible men to send to Jr Worlds next year? I know Jirenbayev should be able to get the TES mins since he was at 4CCs this year, but I'm not sure about Bralin or the other guy they sent out on the JGP last fall.

 

[Wyliefan]

Disagree.

The David Cook cover of Billie Jean is a much better program for Ilia than this Woodkid FS.

The boy is seventeen years old and skating to "The kid is not my son." As someone said on Twitter, who's he supposed to be, the son or the father?

 

[Louis]

Ilia Malinin! Great recovery from Worlds.

Wesley Chiu was… not what I was expecting given all of the hype . His technique on the quad toe seems very strange.

 

[skatfan]

I think Ilia is doing great at his age. Let’s remember where Nathan and Vincent were at the same age.

Plus he got the blessing of Raf in the kiss n cry so know something good will happen!

 

[Wyliefan]

Ilia tried to stuff his mask in his pocket before remembering he didn't have a pocket.
