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

[Jammers]

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

Ilia just needed not to bomb like the GPF and stay close. That's all he wanted here.

 

[Firedancer]

Much better

 

[ilovesalchows]

UGH! Camera feed missing half of Malinin’s combo

Hey some people paid several hundred dollars to have their view blocked, consider yourselves lucky

 

[Aceon6]

Forget the weird camera angles, my Peacock decided to cr@p out just as Ilia took his opening position.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

why is ilia dressed like ancient times for this music?

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

 

[Rob]

Well that was what Ilia needed. But I can do without :sticksouttongue:

 

[Prancer]

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 spins were all reviewed and he got a level 3 on one.

[Lara]

Still cannot believe the camera miss.

But big congrats for handling the pressure!

 

[Citlali]

Also, I appreciate interesting costumes even if they are "ugly" I rather have that than all black

 

[miffy]

Was that really 5+ better than Adam?

 

[MsZem]

PCS ahead of Adam and Kevin. Sure, sure.

 

[Spikefan]

Oh, someone is feeling his oats.

Some of the Ilya/Ilia stuff I’ve seen from Heated Rivalry and new Olympic fans is OTT. Hope he is prepared for the DMs.

 

[genevieve]

OK Skate gods, we've sacrificed the other 2 Japanese men: MAKE THIS HAPPEN

 

[text_skate]

Goooo Yuma

 

[Colonel Green]

C'mon Yuma!

 

[MsZem]

Was that really 5+ better than Adam?

No.

 

[Icetalavista]

Or kvass?

slightly off topic: I had (nonalcoholic) kvass at my international dinner club last month. It was Georgia night. Kvass tasted like fizzy liquid yeast. without alcohol

 

[Theatregirl1122]

My friend has declared that Ilia could be one of our students, but he has a hot dad who "looks like he could be our age". (We're more than a decade younger.)

 

[Sally1214]

Was that really 5+ better than Adam?

Not in my book.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

This SP is perfect for Yuma

 

[Nadin]

Was that really 5+ better than Adam?

No.

 

[Karen-W]

Not quite a SB for Ilia, but we all know he lost a level on one spin and the step sequence. Can't complain about the performance overall though.

 

[Wyliefan]

Johnny, that's not how you pronounce "aplomb."

 

[rfisher]

Skorniakov looks more emo about this than Ilia

Ilia lets his parents do all the emo stressing.

 

[once_upon]

Do we think illa's score enough?

 

[Karen-W]

Was that really 5+ better than Adam?

harder quads & the combo in the bonus, so yes

 

[text_skate]

Oh no

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That was unnecessary.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh!
