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

[Karen-W]

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

You know that's just going to set the Fanyus off even more against him!

while they don't throw raspberry shaped toys to the ice I am fine with it

 

[Citlali]

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)

Noooo, he needs a teddy bear wearing his exact costume

Also so lovely for the fan to watch him live and to have such a great performance... Good for her

I hadn’t seen Malinin’s SP before, and I think the call and GOE on the 3A were gifts, but did he really do that entrance into the 3A? That was seriously ballsy.

The pathetic cartwheel at the end was a whimper, though. I don’t think we can chalk it up to irony,

That entrance into the 3A looks even better from the long axis camera angle that the production team at Lombardia used. Seriously just amazing and so very gutsy.

I have to catch up later, but I just saw a picture of Ilia in costume and OH DEAR LORD. What IS that???

When you consider it’s essentially a Prince of Persia program it’s not SO bad. One says to themselves unconvincingly…

USFS should be ringing up Smuckers as a sponsor again. They could recycle those strawberry stuffies they gave out as "raspberries."

Can we get the 6.0 Chevy paddles back, too?

I have one somewhere still, Jeremy Abbott picked me out in the audience and gave it to me…and then I gave it to my dog as a chew toy

 

[kwanette]

I keep getting the SelevBros mixed up. I was excited to see Prince again and then I saw the costume lol.

Prince is Miss Chan's boyfriend.

They'd have to update them to 10s (or +5) for CoP, but why not?

There is room for an auto maker sponsor since Toyota bowed out...

 

[kwanette]

Is Miura my new Daiske? I can see the potential

No.

 

[Skaterbob]

Yea.... I'm not a fan either Ilia's costume either. He can go back to he practice outfit. lol

 

[Rukia]

I could feel @Rukia 's pain during that program.

lol i'm just coming home from a little rally with a few hundred close friends and honestly this is kind of what i expected idk the vibes are off this season

 

[skateboy]

Ilia Malinin
Overall the program is awful.

I love it.

 

[skatingguy]

I love it.

There's no accounting for taste.

 

[cholla]

Ilia

The costume is giving BDSM dungeon

That's how described it in my last article and when I told the American reporter sitting next to me in the press stand, she was really shocked

Short Program Protocols

 

[LilJen]

Egadze is 23 and looks 37. Maybe Eteri could prescribe him some Rogaine?

Good jumps, but every movement looks so labored with him.

He should just buzz cut it, acknowledge openly the 45-year-old hairline.

I'm trying to think in what circumstances you'd wear a buttoned waistcoat with biker gloves.

If it was a crossover program between Sing Sing Sing and whatever he skated to?

The crotch of his pants is giving me period anxiety.

I was thinking more diarrhea… not something you wanna see in spirals and camel spins…

Back cross rolls and then the 3A. Ballsy indeed.

I would have sworn he was gonna do a Spartacus program.

 

[BittyBug]

Back cross rolls and then the 3A.

And to the drum beat with clenched fists, reminiscent of Hanyu's front cross rolls in Semei.

Yes!!! I thought that too!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

We can use them to throw shade at skaters we think should get mediocre PCS...

 

[Lanie]

I love it.

the duality of skating fandom

 

[Sally1214]

And, now I have managed to see all of the Men's SP. I have no idea how I'll ever catch up with all of this competition before Cup of China. Guess I'll just have to just start picking and choosing a few of the Free Skates in each discipline. In the men's SP, I really enjoyed Pitot (new to me) and Tsuboi in the first group. I'm not sure how Miura finished ahead of Tsuboi in the SP but that's fs judging for you. In the 2nd group, I thought Nika Egadze was wonderful. Yes, he can work on his PCS quite a bit but his technique on jumps was great to see ... and kudos for the "nerves of steel." I can't decide what to think of Siao Him Fa ... watched his program twice and decided that I agreed with whoever said that, if you want to wear that costume and be that "artsy" (my word) you have to skate the program clean. Otherwise, it doesn't really work. His skating is "frantic" but I think I could really love this program IF he ever skated it perfectly clean. As for Ilia ... I mean, what is left to say about him? I'm starting to think he might be from another planet. That 3A out of those back rollovers blew me away. I thought his 4lz was clean too and, like Chris, was surprised he got level 3 on the footwork sequence. Maybe the judges just want to leave room somewhere to give him higher marks later on in the season.
