Of course, I'm not debating the quality of jump, but rather ISU definitions.
I remember that. It was a good attempt, but nothing close to Malinin's.
Chen's looked pretty good on rotation (limitations being refresh rate and resolution), but it didn't look like a stable jump, lacked height, was very off axis and didn't look like he could stay up on it (Maybe different if he really wanted to train and land it).
LOL. It may have been a second then at the very least. No matter what, it was clear that Ilia landed the jump on one foot, but he was off balance, so he had to turn out and put down his other foot to catch himself from falling. He also clearly got all the rotations before landing, which is not something we've seen as well executed in other worthy attempts.
He might not ever land it cleanly in competition but we now know that Malinin could actually be the first to get sufficient rotation in competition based on that attempt. Same with Uno’s 3A+4T which was exciting to see in practice because we actually have a video of it being done to the point of being ratifiable.
honestly, first time i believe it will be landed for sure...
though I LOVE keegan's harness jump... as it's so beautiful... and his 3a is so big... but until Ilia's attempt, i didn't think anyone could land it..It would be the most ironic thing now if Artur Dmitriev somehow became the first to land it after all that.honestly, first time i believe it will be landed for sure...
It won’t be in international competition though. Malinin’s will be.
I can imagine them all '4A contenders' at Lake Placid challenger in September. However, if Ilia and Yuzuru do not make any significant mistakes in SP, it is Arthur indeed, as performing FS earlier than them, who has a chance to land 4A as the first...
If all three of them landed it, but Artur became the first due to having a worse sp that for me would be the greatest comedy for my year.
It cannot be in the short program, it can only be in the free.
Oh, pfft, of course. Apologies, my post-football brain.
Maybe? I dunno, I think it's fun that he skates for the heck of it... but I think it would be an overkill.
His US nationals was a total disaster, but he can be better than he showed there. (I.e. messing combo, going for risky 4Lo instead of 4T). Messy FS with worse components then he normally shows.
Skating in a Challenger.
