I haven't seen slow-mo replays, but I'm curious how @tony and others would have called Malinin's jumps.

For me, 4Lo<< for sure, 3S< for sure, 3A< for sure, and I think at least q on the 4T. I'd want to see the 4S again, too. Forget the quad loop and focus on cleaning up rotations.

As I said, much improved from the GPF.

I don't disagree with the idea that ditching the 4Lo and focusing on clean rotations is a reasonable one, I just am not sure Ilia or his team agrees.

@tony said he was taking a major test today, we may not hear from him for a while (Tony, hope it went well!).

Callers gave the 4L an under and a Q on the 4S. I'm no-tecnic but I could see the under on the 3S.

Camden stepped up to help Imia straighten out his medal ribbon. Unfortunately, Torgy is on the other side of Ilia, so there is no one to help him.

Also, if Jacob can get a quad by next season & we do have three spots, I'm predicting he'll be on the Olympic team with Ilia & Torgy.
And, what will "a" quad do?

Besides Ilia, there's Yuma, Adam, Shun, Tatsuya, Sota, Junwhan, Daniel, Matteo, Nikolaj... plus our Americans who already have quads.

Not meaning to be inflammatory but, while Jacob seems to be a likeable guy who loves skating, I find his skating pretty labored.

I think he will come into his prime next quadrennial.

You know, on the flipside as far as the concept of not getting three spots. We could barely even find someone to give the third spot to this year. So I’m not sure it’s that big of a deal.

(Of course, if we only have two spots next year, I will be crying during nationals about how we can’t send them all.)

What about Broussard coming back from injury? Could be like in 2018 when Bradie came out swinging to make it.

I'm hoping for a lot more clean skates next year.
Broussard's 3A is a lot less reliable than Jacob's at this point. I love Lucas, but with his history of injuries, I'm not sure he's going to be much of a factor. :(
Did we know that Torgy‘s five dollar bargain basement shirt was so see-through that we could see his back tattoo?

Definitely completely unrelated, this shirt is growing on me.
LOL - oh, yes, I commented on this during the GP, lol.
