GPdF 2025 PBP - Men FS: “When the Cock crows who will rule the Roost (er)?”

[Firedancer]

I just can’t get into Egadze’s skating

 

[BittyBug]

Oh dear - that freeze frame where both Tutberidze and Richaud are staring at him.

 

[tony]

Eteri seems genuinely happy for him

 

[Wyliefan]

Bleah.

 

[Kateri]

I am increasingly convinced this LP is just an advert for Ilia's AI-coach grift.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Ilia... These sleeves!

 

[Wyliefan]

Hair and costume are both better than yesterday, at least.

 

[rfisher]

OMG Ilia looks like a puffer fish

 

[Elisheba]

What is this deepity nonsense in the voiceovers?

 

[Wyliefan]

It's not a bad program, if he'd just drop the Chicken Soup for the Soul parts.

 

[beckab81]

After Nathan Chen's non-costumes being popular, I love that Ilia is going with all out costumes. And this is certainly better than last season's stripey blue diaper. (and I like the sleaves, there's a reason they were big in the 80's & 90's!)

 

[Kaz7714]

I get that Ilia in typical young adult style is trying to come across VERY sophisticated but these voice overs are killing the flow of the music. Without them this would be a great program for him.
Insane technical content as usual.

 

[tony]

Making his already mostly awkward arms accentuated with this outfit.. don't like.

Holding his jump landings and the flip has the nice entry, but the first half still is pretty empty. I don't know how I feel about the program yet. Seems disjointed or not really all together or something. Gives Plushenko do not much of anything and then be frivolous at the end for claps.

4Lz and 3F and 4S need reviewed IMO but it's not going to matter.

 

[TAHbKA]

So both Malinin and Liu skate in Trusova's costume

 

[tony]

More crying I CANNOT.

 

[Skaterbob]

Ilia is wearing a corset right?

 

[susieB129]

I do not like anything about this program.

 

[Lizziebeth]

What is this deepity nonsense in the voiceovers?

incomprehensible pretension!

 

[Karen-W]

Damn. Playing it SAFE with no 4A or 4Lo and just freakin' brilliant.

 

[Wyliefan]

After Nathan Chen's non-costumes being popular,

When were they popular? I think after awhile they got to be part of his persona and kind of endearing in a dorky way, but I wouldn't say they were popular.

 

[Private Citizen]

I love that this is a conservative skate from Ilia . No rotation quibbles from me today other than maybe the 4S sequence. Great that he worked the raspberry into a spin.

But omg these voiceovers. What were they thinking? Program would be fine without them.

 

[BittyBug]

Wow. And his tech isn't even maxed out yet.

 

[AYS]

Did Ilia just do a raspberry as a combo spin transition? WTH did I just see there. That was #^$#&$^ amazing.

I love him.

 

[her grace]

Malinin

Ilia’s own voice voiceover, new levels of pretentious, 4f, 3a, 4z, 3r, safe to say he’s saving combos for second half, he’s not hitting the nuances in the music-could be skating to anything, 4z-1r-3f, great jumping prowess, even less of a program than his usual hoodwinked high energy endings

 

[thvu]

Not the same effect as the SP. The program is so empty, but the elements are solid.

He's a runaway favorite for the gold. He doesn't need the Quad Axel or Quad loop. He just needs to repeat this.

 

[peibeck]

I'm slightly obsessed with this corset top Ilia's wearing and feel like he should be doing "Vogue" rather than this indulgent voice-over nonsense.

Jumps looked mostly more secure with decent run out than usual.

 

[beckab81]

When were they popular? I think after awhile they got to be part of his persona and kind of endearing in a dorky way, but I wouldn't say they were popular.

Torgy, Britchgi and I think Adam all wore versions of them at some point.

 

[AYS]

Oh and 1-foot landing on the back flip into 3 turns. Forgot to mention that in my shocked state.

 

[Karen-W]

incomprehensible pretension!

I'm here for it. It will drive the Fanyus absolutely batshit that not only is Ilia out-teching their God, he's also out-pretensioning Hanyu as well.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Ilia taking no prisoners. I wish he would lose the dopy voiceovers.
