2026 Olys Team Event PBP Day 2 - Will It Be YAYmoz? Or GO!GO!lev?

Flip looked tight just by the hitch on the landing, probably rotation okay. 3A obviously off from the start, twisted on the landing and just barely below a 0 GOE. I get the interesting transitions into it, but no.

I'm not saying it just because but all 4 jump landings looked tight.
 
Ilia showing nerves. He's lucky the judges are giving him rep GOE for his overrated 3axel landed at a standstill and the 4lutz/3toe with a poor landing and little speed.

Team Japan really needed this point Ilia just ceded.
 
Ilia Malinin 🇺🇸
Coach: T. Malinia, R. Skorniakov, A. Arutiunian
Music: Dies Irae, The Lost Crown

4F
3A - no flow on landing, stuck on the toe-picks
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
4Lz<+3T
Flying Sit Spin 4 (3 after review)
Step Sequence 4

Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Malinin not getting done in the short program despite playing it safe with the jumps - safe for him at least. Advantage Japan going to the free skates.

98.00 = 2nd Place
 
Ilia squeaking out a few jumps there. Ugh. It was either this or I had fears of him trying the 4a-3t and breaking a bone. Definitely NOT better than Yuma.
