Worlds 2024 Men FS: ‘Putting the Eh? in Standing Ovation’

[Carolla5501]

I like how dad just sits there and shakes his head like “I don’t know what just happened”

Look at the disparity between the tech scores and the PCS. That's a message right there.

I mean, he could only go 9 and some points higher on PCS. What did you want? There's no message to be had.

 

[MacMadame]

Just over 90 PCS. I have to consider whether I want to keep my hair or not, I guess.

Bald is in. I'm just saying.

We’ll go bald together, Tony!

 

[overedge]

Ilia, please say "FCUK YEAH I WON"

 

[YourBorneo]

I love this podium!!!!!

 

[BlueRidge]

Did I really see what I just saw??

WOW

 

[Wyliefan]

That was a really sweet and heartfelt little speech.

 

[terisa]

I got Ilia Kulik Olympic program vibes. He was just floating through those jumps and made it all look easy breezy lemon squeezy.

 

[Citlali]

After the short, I couldn't imagine, but there it is: Dream podium

 

[Kaz7714]

I don't know what just happened but heck. Adam gets a medal. Yuma is back and Ilia is....Ilia.

 

[~tapdancer~]

Just incredible. Ilia. No words for that spectacular skate. His Dad is in disbelief. So am I. That was just amazing. And he is adorable.

 

[Jammers]

How lucky are we in the US to have back to back skaters like Nathan and Ilia? Most people didn't think we'd see another skater who could jump like Nathan and it took less then a Olympic cycle.

 

[thvu]

Dance and Womens were shit, but wow did the men bring it! Watching tonight, it’s crazy to believe we were just saying “men gonna men” not so long ago.

 

[Spikefan]

I like how dad just sits there and shakes his head like “I don’t know what just happened”

Same, same.

 

[Private Citizen]

PCS can’t go that high. The tech score is just insane.

Not since Midori Ito has a skater been so far ahead of their peers. It may take generations for Ilia’s jump content to become the norm.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Thrilled for Ilia.
Adam got to watch most of the competition from the chair of honor! Oh what might have been.

 

[TAHbKA]

@skatingguy thank you for all the PBP this week!

 

[CassAgain]

Three best, most exciting skates ever to medal at Worlds? We know this was going to be an epic men’s competition!

 

[overedge]

Mark, Terry Kubicka did a backflip at Worlds, after which it was banned. Surya Bonaly did one at the Olympics even though it was illegal.

 

[flyingsit]

I feel so privileged to have seen those two performances back to back.

 

[Karen-W]

I wish we could have had Nathan cam. He must have been so excited watching that!

I really need Jean-Luc to make sure we get a Nathan-Ilia photo for the USFS IG stories!

I love this podium!!!!!

Same here!!!!! Dream podium for me.

This whole competition has been unbelievable. I don't ever remember crying at the outcomes of all four events

 

[barbk]

..and Jason with the 6th highest TES for the segment, and the highest PCS for the segment.

 

[Private Citizen]

I’m so jealous of anyone who saw this comp live.

 

[miffy]

I’m such a loser, I’ve stayed up late all week and then in the very last resurface decided to rest my head for 10 minutes, and woke up on Shoma’s 3rd element, having missed 9 skaters

So happy for the medallists though. i guess I’ll catch up on the rest tomorrow

 

[Wyliefan]

I feel like a limp dishrag.

 

[slicekw]

Med tech ought to check Ilya’s head, it keeps looking like he bonked it good when he threw himself to the ice.

 

[tony]

Judge 3 - 9.75 skating skills for Malinin. Regardless of him rightfully running away with the competition, this is not reality. There are quite a few judges that had him more in the realistic regions though, even with that performance.

Judge 7 nearly went +4 and +5 for every single element Kagiyama did aside from that Axel mistake.

Lots and lots of q calls.

 

[Coco]

He mentioned Terry, but wasn't sure.
