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

[AYS]

Absolutely! I would love to see how any competitors without any of the quad jumps would skate against Jason. How would they compare to Jason? Those skaters better have a very clean skate in both the TES and PCS scores or they will go downhill because none of them even come close to what Jason can do without those quad jumps Period. And, yes, without Jason, we wouldn't have had those 3 spots 5 times out of 10 years!

Jason had the highest score in every non-jump category in this lp - PCS, spins, steps, choreo sequence.

I haven't paid a ton of attention to men's events the past couple of years except for the top guys, but Gorodnitsky is very enjoyable to watch. I liked both his programs.

I'm a bit bummed that the ISU feed didn't show the moment Adam discovered he had a medal. I would have liked to see his reaction.

They tried to cut to him but he jumped out of the chair so all we saw was an empty one.

He was probably running around the room screaming

It got really obvious the past two seasons with his slowdown in competing.

His 3A were great as recently as 2022:

Speaking of Sinnerman, wish that was a program he would bring back.

Considering that it’s never been an easy jump for him and that in 2023 and 2024 he was mostly doing shows and wasn’t training or competing full time, it’s really not surprising he’s been stalking it. I think it’s actually pretty impressive that at 29 he’s maintained his competitive drive and most of his skills at such a high level despite the limited training time.

Gorodnitsky surprised me as he has improved considerably over the past few years. He was excellent, and I thought he was under marked.

For just a kiss and cry alone. USFSA needs to realize or obtain more than $.10 to the budget for this. Lol.

Those push-down lotion bottles have to go.

No way. Chacked has been a part of skating fandom terminology for decades now!

Today I learned…
D*mn, I’m a bad skating fan. I always thought chacked was a real word.
yikes.

Some of us were around for that nationals so don’t fret.

Uh, me too. Like the whole blackboard in the control with names and lines crossed through them when doing production

Brown - I can't believe Mark and Tonia didn't call out his INSANE stalking, telegraphing, ten minute entries into those triple axels. How he is getting +3 on that element is a JOKE. Also this Imposs Dream program is $hit and I didn't like the short either. Glad to hear he's getting new material for next season.

Jason is just trying to teach the next generation of skating fans what a triple axel is by giving them a long intro into the jump.

this might be the sickest burn i've ever read on this board

 

[overedge]

Jason is just trying to teach the next generation of skating fans what a triple axel is by giving them a long intro into the jump.

And he also has proper jump technique for the 3A. Which some skaters could learn a lot from seeing and by that I mean anyone coached by Joanne McLeod .

 

[thvu]

Idgi what ppl mean by "stalking" a 3A. The axel is a jump where it's impossible to just jump into it. It has a very distinct entrance.

Hanyu did a counter into the 3axel so many times. Literally not on the curve until right before he jumps, fractions of a second.

Think Emanuel Sandhu - or any skater trained by Joanne McLeod - going around the ice like tracing a coil getting tighter, and tighter before finally jumping.

The whole “set” has to go

 

[kwanfan1818]

Lindemann used to do spread eagle into and out of his 3A. When he was on, it was a dream.

 

[canbelto]

I watched a few YT videos and that twizzle Hanyu does out of the 3A is still the coolest thing ever.

I think Ilia may be starting to go viral. I'm starting to see his free skate video pop up from accounts that normally don't cover skating.

Music to my ears! I shared it on my FB and one friend who doesn't follow FS commented that she watched it and it made her want to cry. And I just had another FB friend share with me this clip from the CBS Evening News - https://fb.watch/r0FmlbNZgK/ It's so great that he's getting major media attention!

My DH’s family in Russia is hooked - sharing all over. They’re in Ryazan’ … city of Trusova.

Ilia's getting attention for the same reason Simone Biles got attention: he's pushing the envelope technically and it's exciting.

 

[terisa]

IMO what Jason does is convey JOY to be out there skating. It's not quantifiable, but everyone in the arena sees it, feels it, and the judges are not immune to it either. It's bound to be reflected in their marks.

Great, all this publicity. He`s young, typical fearless teen ager, master of jumps. This is just what USFS needs to get younger people interested in the sport. Now, just hope they don`t f*** it up - too much pressure, endless events/intereviews, messing with the people around him.

He's also cute in that boy-next-door way and it's pretty clear he's got similar interests to most of his age peers - skateboarding, anime, video games, etc. He has all the elements there to become a superstar.

I hope he withstands the NBC hype machine in the lead-up to the Olys because it's going to be even worse than Nathan.

Ilia even looks adorable wearing eyeglasses! (20 seconds into this segment):

19-year old Ilia Malinin broke records skating at the world championships in Montreal on saturday, landing SIX quadruple jumps in a single program.

[LeafOnTheWind]

I know people loved that Jason was on the last Olympic team but this is where I worry we screwed Ilia. The entire narrative from Scott, Brian and Nathan is they needed the first Olympic experience to learn how to skate for gold in their second.

I understand why Jason was selected but I stand by my feeling that Ilia needs to worry about mental preparation just as much as the physical. Ilia said he has talked to Nathan before so I hope that mentorship continues. It could be very helpful.
