2025 GPF Men SP - “Dude Where’s My Costume?”

[MINAM]

And Kagiyama stands up and roars in the K&C.

 

[Karen-W]

Awwww! That's a great reaction from Yuma to his score!

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Praise be, Yuma. Blades tickling the ice like ivory piano keys.

 

[Wyliefan]

Aww, I love happy Yuma!

 

[tony]

Quite close to 9.50 PCS. It's like the judges finally understand what it's for.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I've spent nearly 25 years trying to forget that I saw Sex Bomb live in person at 2001 Worlds and now the hideous memories have returned.

 

[rfisher]

This just got interesting. Malinin is going to have to work for it now.

This program is so his mother.

 

[Citlali]

Woke up for Yuma and Ilia

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Somehow Ilia is trying too hard and isn't trying at all at the same time.

 

[Karen-W]

Crap! 4A botched. Now he's got to think on his feet to get the combo in.

 

[tony]

I'm shocked at how realistic these GOE have been so far.

Lutz was NOT rotated.

The program is 'great' and I like bits of the choreography and commitment. But he's not anywhere near Kagiyama as an overall skater and I don't care how many 9.25 the judges continue to throw at him to try to convince otherwise.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Malinin after Kagiyama is akin to having heavy port wine after a glass of champagne.

 

[beckab81]

Can an axel be the solo jump in a short?

 

[Lana K]

Ilia proving he is human today. Skate feeling kinda nervy beyond just the 4A error.

 

[rfisher]

Crap! 4A botched. Now he's got to think on his feet to get the combo in.

You always have that back up plan.

 

[MINAM]

6 Ilia MALININ USA

He's dressed as a warrior?
4ax step out
3ax He's so breezy
CFCS
4lutz + 3tl (?)
I'm not feeling it. Nice edgework
Back flip
Raspberry twist

Ummm. Not solid.

 

[Wyliefan]

Wow, look at that tech score. He's human.

 

[skatingguy]

Ilia Malinin
Coach: T. Malinina, R. Skorniakov, R. Arutiunian
Music: Dies Irae, The Lost Crown

4Aq - step out
3A
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
4Lzq+3T
Flying Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

A bit of a messy performance, and rotation issues on the quadruple Axel, and maybe the quadruple Lutz as well.

94.05 = 3rd Place

 

[TAHbKA]

Malinin giving the Japanese funs a present having Kagiyama first for now?

 

[Karen-W]

Ilia proving he is human today. Skate feeling kinda nervy beyond just the 4A error.

Agreed. Definitely not his best effort, but better here this week than in Milano-Cortina.

 

[tony]

Can an axel be the solo jump in a short?

A quad Axel can, because the Axel requirement itself has to be a triple or double.

 

[her grace]

Malinin

Flip out of quad axel—risky choice, all the other jumps okay, lots of highlight moves, missing the underlying basics to push him above Kagiyama

 

[rfisher]

I think it's good for him to be in second here Now, he has to be a competitor and not just a skater.

 

[MacMadame]

4A-3T in the short is dumb, tbh

 

[tony]

4A is << territory
4Lz is <

 

[beckab81]

If rotations get called he really should go behind Sato

[MINAM]

Malinin 3rd!

LOL Kagiyama and Sato watching the monitor together closely. Adorable.

 

[tony]

I wondered if he was going to stay ahead of Grassl even. By .05

 

[Kateri]

Above Grassl by 0.05 is a reality check
