GPdF 2025 PBP - Men SP: “Too Many Cocks Spoil The Bros”

[npavel]

this costume is really cool

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I think Ilia looks great, just looks like it’s a different style haircut.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

The crotch of his pants is giving me period anxiety.

Hold on let me go in for a close-up.

 

[Braulio]

The linking moves/steps to the jumps, wow

 

[Braulio]

TES at 48 points with 3 elements to score

 

[tony]

Wonderful 4F interwoven so well into the choreography! And the 3A too with the backwards steps right into it- that was cool. But I think maybeeeee the Axel landing was a bit cheated just based on all the ice that flew up and how he twisted out. I'd check the 4Lz rotation, too.

I'm ready to give him a higher composition score because a lot of these movements were fresh and right into and out of elements. Still think the skating skills themselves need work versus let's say any of Torgashev, Miura or even Adam. But very good!

 

[Hedwig]

last spin looked uncomfortable - otherwise he joins the ones without nerves of noodles.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Adapting a method grab to figure skating in his step sequence , very Ilia.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh, he did get a perm or wave or something, I don’t mind it.

Is this music special enough for Olympic material?

 

[thvu]

I feel like there's so much to dislike about this program, but I love it. It's just so today, so how to make skating more modern, younger. And Ilia has swag, no doubt about it.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - love Ilia's expression after he finished. He knows that combo was a bit tight, but he still got the job done.

I'm dying at the girl on the camera who is crying at his program!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Malinin needs to grown out his bangs more and then he could have perfect A Flock of Seagulls hair.

 

[Kateri]

Genuinely fantastic. And he's got his own crying fan! (Needs a crying fan wearing a replica of his costume for max level mania though)

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Malinin needs to grown out his bangs more and then he could have perfect A Flock of Seagulls hair.

Maybe he will go for mullet Realness.

 

[tony]

Yeah, I'd call the Lutz as short. But whatever.

Not sure we've seen a back tuck in figure skating before. The combination was a little tight today, but the other jumps were good. Is he going for a sort of Alexander the Great look with the costume, and the hair? Overall the program is awful.

105.22 = 1st Place

 

[peibeck]

That "raspberry" was almost a flop-berry. His cat like reflexes saved that move.

Not my favorite of Ilia's programs. The first part works better but he obviously identifies more with the second half.

 

[Braulio]

The confidence and attitude from Ilia on the ice, he just takes command, and it shows

Have not watched the program until now and I like that, an effort to grow

 

[tony]

"What's he call it? The raspberry or whatever?"

 

[genevieve]

First minute of program: wow, this may be the first time I actually like a Malinin program! It's not high art or anything but I am enjoying both the jumps and the performance...

- oh, wait, it's just another qwad gahd white boy 'street' program with a backflip AND a cartwheel

 

[ilovesalchows]

I have two teen boys. Fuzzy curls are the look.

 

[Kateri]

"What's he call it? The raspberry or whatever?"

"Yes, dad."

 

[peibeck]

What is this Patrick Mahomes hair?!

His tribute to Adam Rippon's "angel hair" days!

 

[thvu]

Ilia is becoming more and more singular. The level of performance he gave, how his style now is some type of "earned arrogance". It's captivating. This program was full of tropes, of schtick, but I loved it. WOW.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I have two teen boys. Fuzzy curls are the look.

I’ve noticed that as well out and about.

 

[Citlali]

Ilia

Some of that GOE was ridiculous but well that is the world champion bonus

The hair I'm not convinced... The costume is giving BDSM dungeon but well he is 20 and I NOT kink-shame

 

[rfisher]

Poor Ilia. He's reached Hanyu status where they're sobbing after his skate. Next thing they'll be dressing like him. Bless him.

 

[Spikefan]

I really like the program and costume. Once I get used to the hair I will enjoy it better.

 

[Badams]

Ilia's got confidence just oozing out of him. It's kind of awesome.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Poor Ilia. He's reached Hanyu status where they're sobbing after his skate. Next thing they'll be dressing like him. Bless him.

Heavy is the crown, as he’ll explain to us in VO during the FS.
