Ilia is insane. I thought the quad axel fall would cost him this title, but this might be enough right?

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Mindblowing

 

[Rebecca Moose]

awesome recovery after the 4A fall!

his presentation has improved SO much

 

[elektra blue]

quad-porn really impressive techwise

 

[Skating91]

Wow made it so easy in the end. No debate who the best skater at this tournament was. He'll be the best of all time without a doubt.

My stream has turned into potato quality so I can't see the score.

Ooo a 3Lutz-3A, that's nice.

That's spinny thing he does is always a crowd pleaser!

And OMG, that TES!!! Insanity!

 

[cheerknithanson]

that costume is so much better!

100% agree.

 

[Jeanie19]

Ilia. That was magnificent.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I think I can breathe now.

 

[TT_Fin]

He is not at the level of Shoma or Yuma in presentation yet but compared to himself last season it is getting so much better.

 

[elektra blue]

I think that's enough for a medal?

in any planet of the solar system dearie

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Will 20 in TES be enough for gold...make your bets, ladies and gents...

Yes, the quad axel in the SP might have been very smart. If he was behind Shoma in the SP it would have been more difficult, but I think it should be enough unless his TES drop with 10 points

 

[Moon322]

I think that's enough for a medal?

What medal? He will win the gold by a mile.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Fall on the 4A and a few other jumps looked scratchy too. But he kept his head about him. If the 4Lo is good, then he’s the first to land all the 4s. Well done. Should be the gold medal.

 

[Ares]

Holy crap Ilia makes quads look so easy and he even was interesting artistically today for me. He did not let the Axel Paulsen fall get to him.

 

[liv]

Great quads...his ability to spin in the air is crazy.... wish he was a better skater, though. But, he's improving.

Still prefer Yuma, Adam and Shoma as skaters.

He is not at the level of Shoma or Yuma in presentation yet but compared to himself last season it is getting so much better.

not really imo
they are just better at playing to his strength
but with a tech content like that, honestly, what does it matter

 

[anonymoose_au]

100% agree.

He looks very elegant in it, goes with the music - which I missed the name of and have no idea what it is.

Will he win 20 years after his mother did? Mark seems to think so!

 

[Rebecca Moose]

oh yes daddy roman is happy with that score

 

[Demandred]

Ilia's jumping skill is just ridiculous, the quads look so easy for him. As Mark said, even the quad lutz looks almost like transitional content for him. Well deserved win here.
