I would 8 to be Ilia tonight
This is why you stay humble. Smells like bitch on the ice,
american bros….what happened to us? did we just have incredible once in a lifetime athletic prowess from 1970-2010, and now we just suck?i remember American domination of olympics being a guarantee, now we barely even hang in there and KHAZAKSTAN is winning shit
I just got here to see Ilia fail. What happened did EVERYONE fuck up?
I don’t think there has ever been a sporting event in history where everyone has been so obsessed with one guy and acted like he just deserved the medal automatically. I have been avoiding it all because /fs/ are all paedophiles and this sport is gay anyway, but even the unavoidable coverage has been excessive.
Ilia Cuckitini
lmao dude comes out and does a routine to his own fucking monologue. The ego. Fucking rekt, got checked
>>153433615the ice was terrible, everyone who skated at the end was falling all over the place
drumpf america
>>153433604unironically yes, we had a generational run of talent and the well has finally run dry. other countries (like france especially) know this and have been trying as hard as possible to finally win something during the lull
GO BACK YOUR WHEATIES BOX, FUCK BOIAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
>Voice over your music with pretentious slop>Use your own voice to do it>Fail miserably >Borat wins gold medal
So they rigged it right?
Sigh...total KWAB moment :(
>>153433604we’re fucked. chen was our last hope in ‘22. we are entering a khazak and french dominated olympic era
>>153433674>2010you guys lost 2010
Americasisters...
Is this that start of ilia's villain arc?
Cancel the TV contract with NBC becsaue they keep sabotaging our stars.

>>153433825I hate that I can understand this
>>153433825>ACK God
>>153433825He will get a lot of cock in the village and be happy
It's pretty obvious ice was fucked since it's set up for speed skating which had a much smaller audience thus not this level of heat. Mikhail skated just after it was fixed so could complete his fun largely fine, but it started melting again fast and everyone was eating shit. You had skaters literally getting caught and tripped on basic maneuvering I can fucking do lmao.
>>153433825Oh nee hij heeft een probleem! Helemaal de kluts kwijt!
Will Tree(Racoon) wife medal in the womans Here are the results for teams

I think I'm more upset than Yuma is about not stealing that Gold but fuck I bet if he went last without the fear of Ilia's score he'd clutch it
>>153433825Totaal de kluts is right

>>153433825>totaal kluts
Kazakh going to get rich
>>153433852heard they were allowed to warm up on another rink. it certainly fucked up their sensations.
>>153433857The Russian chick (who didn't compete in teams) or Sakamoto will win. Alysa didn't even win nationals.
Someone outed Ilia as straight and they hosed the ice down with water before his run. Rigged.
Yeah maybe ditch the Quad God nickname next time
https://www.isuresults.com/results/season2526/owg2026/CAT001RS.htmHe will start HRT and transition into a woman.
That was the worst olympic performance since 2010. Nathan and Yuzu laugh at the quad cuck

>>153433473It was honestly too early to call him the greatest. He only went viral because of Youtube and everyone thought he was amazing. Turns out he folds under pressure.

malinin will win a gold only once he detaches himself from his homophobic ruskian matriarch mother and comes out of the closet
If Petr didn't mess up the short program, he would have a real shot to the podium, imagine the seething from the West.
>be me>haven't watched since Hanyu used to skate and women didn't do quads>guess I'll check out the Olympics this year>huh so this Ilia guy is the best now>managed to remember free program is today because I missed the short one>wow I'm sure there will be amazing skating today and everyone says Ilia dude always wins with a billion quads I can't fucking wait>everyone fucking chokes and the only good skating was the Kazakhstan dudelol lmao
PLEASE STAND FOR THE BORAT ANTHEM

>>153433527This sounds like a joke but I mean it: Snoop has bad karma and his presence js a n ill omen. Can we not find an "ambassador" who isn't some illiterate dipshit wahed up rapper who is high 24/ 7 and might possibly have killed someone back in the day? What the fuck does he even have to do with olympics? What fucking sport did he play?
Are you ready for the ultimate Petrosian strike?
>>153433883Aren't the horses the most valuable part of this prize? In the US, a thoroughbred is over 100k USD.
Kazakh guy is wondering if he's gonna suddenly wake up
>>153434002Yeah fuck snoop
What do you think sex with Eteri Tutberidze is like?
Someone should check on ilia
>You can put a Russian born in America but he can still choke in the finalWhat about the Russian/Eastern-European upbringing that makes you unable to choke?
Why do Russoans pretend to be more masculine than other whites when they excel at the most zestiest Winter sport.
>>153433883>100 horsesimagine the smell
Is it just me or the only reason the Russian didn't medal was because he got judged way more harshly than everyone else (and also that whole music problem for his short). Probably not gold or silver, but bronze.
>>153434025>traditional symbolic gifthe won't receive any horse. maybe a horse meat steak

The next one will be the Pair Skating, the starting order is now available:https://www.isuresults.com/results/season2526/owg2026/SEG005.htm
he's going to slay so much asian kazakh puss
How does a gold medal like this one feel? You know that you didn't win because you were the best, but because three much stronger contenders simply had an off-day -- the universe and face spitting in their face.
>>153425496He must have suffered brain death from jacking off too much on his gaming computer. One sympathizes.
>>153434058that is correct, yes. gummy got jewed bad by the isu yids.ioc would be wise to pick another governing body to manage figure skating
how do i cope?

Gimmy
>>153434095we kamo now
>>153434094>He has publicly condemned Russian media outlets for often labelling him as a Russian athlete. "I was born, lived, and still live in Almaty, and I spend a lot of time in Kazakhstan, in my beloved city. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to train under Alexey Evgenievich, with whom I've been working together for a long time. But I started skating at the Ramstore shopping center, where many figure skaters got their start, including Denis Ten. It had one of the very first rinks in Kazakhstan... It's disrespectful to me"
>>153434104what is his setup?
>>153425402Serious question.What age do the guys age out of the sport?
>is powered by his love of hating of women to get the goldPay your respects to Kazakhstan and the newest men's figure skating Olympic champion
>>153434125Will the Aussie Pair have a shot on the podium?
>>153433883>100 horsesbut where will the 100 horses liveand what will the 100 horses eatand who will take care of the 100 horsesi don't get it
>>153433825what a totaal de kluts lmao
>I USED TO RULE THE WORLD
LOVE FROM KAZAKHSTAN
>>153434144about 17-18
>>153434144Depends on their focus but if they're serious about it and aren't unlucky with injuries they can last into their late 20s. He'll have another olympics, maybe a third.
>>153434148I have no idea how this works I haven't skated since I needed to prop myself up on milk crates. But I think the starting order goes from (expected) worst to best so they would need approximately 20 more Malinin-tier brainfarts to medal.
>>153434102You wear it with pride knowing that you didn't choke on the grandest stage unlike the supposedly superior skaters
>>153434127>Denis Tenwell, lets hope Shaidorov doesn't follow in Ten's footsteps too much
>>153433936So he can start his own horde and conquer neighbouring regions
>>153434174>their focusthis guy's done he just wants to game and watch isabeau edits on tiktokjust like me
>>153433825I can make him feel good again.
>>153434002Any 90's gangster rapper who cut his teeth ghetto rapping about doing dope, fuck'n hos and killing cops, only to later come out in support for the system that disparaged them is a fucking bitch ass trick who deserves to get their ass beat, belt whipped and shot.
>>153434102He was the best in the actual competition which is what counts. Barring judge fuckery which wasn't the case here a win is a deserved win.
i don't know anything about the olympics who are the cutest twinks?
>>153434127based really
Serious question, how many of the male figure skaters are poofs? Are there any straight ones?
Jesus Christ why the fuck was everyone falling today?Is the ice cursed?
>>153434102>I didn't chokemust feel pretty good man
>>153433883>he has to pay to keep care of the horses>100 horses will cost him millions per month
Something tells me Alysa or Isabeau (maybe even both) will be getting sone love from a certain Kazak
>>153433656Tell me you're joking. I thougt the dialogue is dumb but surely it's not the dude himself?
>>153425496You saw his soul leave his body on his second jump.
>>153434271Isabeau is a virgin. She reads books and posts on /r9k/.>>153434273No he really recorded his own voiceover.
I read that he didn't want to do the free skate in the team event. if they didn't waste him on that, could the outcome have been different?
btw the FIGURE SKATING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS is next monthilia will have to skate on a big stage again very soon
>>153434102Not choking under pressure is also a skill, retard
don't worry guys raccoon will redeem the Americans
>>153434271After the Jamaican bobsled team is finished with them
>>153434313>if they didn't waste him on that, could the outcome have been different?Yes, he'd have 0 golds instead of one.
>>153434314are there pirate streams for that or?
>>153433883Just sell the 100 horses to the next slaughterhouse, easy money.
>>153434102It feels the same as any other when the person who isn't the world #1 wins. If everything was based on who was the best on paper there would be no point in the Olympic competitions, just give them another medal based on world rankings in that case. The whole point is this single competition every four years has crazy pressure on it and to perform at the biggest stage is extremely difficult. Part of winning is performing under pressure. Kazak was the best today and most consistent, end of story.
>>153434271He has plenty of horses for them now
>>153434314>let's have the world championships for our sport a month after we just decided who the best iswhat do they mean by this
Kazak guy had zero pressure on him because he knew he wasn't going to make top three anyway. Imagine winning gold after all that.
>>153434294>NBC's little athlete detail section showed him skating to a song that said "feat. Ilia Malinin">hear his voice>Ilia seriously did his free skate routine to him talking over instrumentals like he's saying some profound shitHow the fuck did I miss this the first time holy shit
>>153434322she needs to skate to this music to win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16o4Ua1kCaM
>>153434314>>153434357gymnastics doesn't do this
>>153434102It's called a "Bradbury"
>>153434360He had the 2nd highest potential score for the free skate
My estimation of Ilia Malinin as a man just fuckin' plummeted.
>>153425496There is no more Ilia. Today was the dawn... of AILI.
>>153434360Yeah he looked like he couldn't even believe it was real. The whole thing must feel like a mindfuck.
>>153434294>No he really recorded his own voiceover.
>>153434094he's an ethnic Russian, you can tell by his name alone.
>>153434360nigga was clenching his panda plush like he was hanging on for his life>apparently he loves pandasok he seems like a pretty cool guy and I can get behind him winning
>>153434426fucking unbelievable hubris isn't it
>>153434002Snoop's minorly cringe but what mental defect has you jumping to hip hop being the problem in the whitest global event this side of Davos?
>>153434424>finnish ice dance open>skate berlin>literally in the middle of the olympicsfor what reason
>>153434331You can watch the Finnish stream if you have a VPN :DDDD
>>153433883Bruh is the Olympics just the Hunger Games?
>>153433883>Mister president, I have come to collect what was promised to me. 100 thoroughbred steeds, pay up.
>>153434357Some top skaters are even going to retire after this Olympics but before this World Championship lol
Why do Japanese get such high scores for shit runs? It seems to happen across the entire Olympics honestly.Gogolev and Gumennik should have been on that podium.
>>153433852>Italian ice is soft and slushyThis could have been foreseen.
>>153434484>mr. president, he opted to take delivery of the horses
So that was truly disappointing
>>153434447I hadn't even put it together that he was the Dune guy from the short program, as well as skating the 5th ElementBased sci-fi god
>>153434316It's a skill, but a very different one. I think that figure skaters want to be the best at, you know, the act of figure skating. Not mindfulness. >>153434334I think it's different when a #2 overtakes #1 with a great performance and I don't think that he shouldn't get his gold. I simply wonder whether that feeling of "I got very, very lucky" is there. He got lucky that he performed way worse in the first event, because it allowed him to skate without pressure, and then even luckier when three better skaters had off-days.I'm saying that it's an ugly gold.
>>153434102It's like that women's Super G skiing shit yesterday in the winter fog, sometimes victory just means finishing the fucking course at all.
>>153434428The thing about ethnicity is that it can change in a generation or two, it's not biological.
>>153434541Mikhail Shaidorov it's time to say the word of the day!
>>153434541ATREIDES
Kneel.
>>153434552>I think that figure skaters want to be the best at, you know, the act of figure skating. Not mindfulness.mental is a massive part of all competitions and sports
>>153434606>ourhe's russian
did he get interviewed right after kekwhat did he say ?
>>153434524>Come on kid, nobody chooses the gag prize
>>153434552>I think that figure skaters want to be the best at, you know, the act of figure skating.no, not choking is like the main thing. These guys are all incredibly good and if you used video practice run-throughs you'd be fine with scoring on elements included alone.The point of the competition is finding out who chokes the least when it counts.
>>153434552>I simply wonder whether that feeling of "I got very, very lucky" is there. He got lucky that he performed way worse in the first event, because it allowed him to skate without pressure, and then even luckier when three better skaters had off-days.I get this. It probably is a mindfuck. Everyone treats you like you're the best and you have to decide if that's true or not. And then it remains to be seen if that makes you overconfident or second-guess your abilities or if you just take it in stride.
So tell me. Why couldn't the quad god complete any quads?
>>153434645the shitalians rigged the ice o algo
>>153434623Went into NFL player mode, just hit his "The other guy did great, we just didn't have it today, yeah I'm kinda in shock"s and shed a single tear that glistened like gold on his cheek.
>>153434645They splash some water on the ice.
>>153434623he took it in stride and straight up admitted he blew it big timerespect +1 for that least
>>153433852Something tells me, they are going to check the ice and find out it was messed up.
>>153434645We need a 30 for 30 on why he just kind of bailed out of the routine on the second jump. Did they hit him with the goybeam?
>>153434677*splash-a*ice-a
>>153434681>melts and dumps it all in the adriaticproblem?
Other events give you 3 attempts and they only count your best score. I wish Figure skating was like that
>>153434645they blasted him with the goybeam in the leadup to his second jump
Who's the quad guy F ing
>>153434645>NOBODY CAN BEAT YOU RIGHT?>YOU'RE GUARANTEED GOLD RIGHT?>YOU'RE THE BEST IN THE WORLD RIGHT?>YOU'VE WON ONLY GOLDS SINCE 2023 RIGHT?>YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE GREATEST SKATER OF ALL TIME RIGHT?Imagine being 20 years old and hearing this from everyone you meet and in every comment online every second of every day from morning to nightAnd knowing that's all everyone says about youThen standing center stage knowing millions of people are watching
>>153434244Key Mountain jiving to Stevie Wonder did things to me I didn't think twinks could.
>>153434731Not Isabeau!
>>153434708I don't think their bodies could take it
>>153434731his mother, they will have words tonight
>Malinin had to listen to himself commentating his failing run>Will never be able to hear a recording of himself again without getting PTSD
>>153434645You misheard, it’s “Quad Cuck”.>>153434606Kami was 15 years old back then, everybody bullied her, Amerimutt media wrote 10 articles a day smear her. She was dragged through CAS court hearings for 7 hours before her free skate, wasn’t allowed to pee.She finished 4th.
>>153434708That would take too long and be too hard on the body
>>153434767that shit was cringe anyway
have the women been falling much? racoon girl and sheltered mormon will be fine, right? lesbian too?
>>153434767His five-head was swollen enough, maybe now it won't be
>>153434708It kind of is with the combination of two routines. Nobody's final position was the same number twice, except this guy almost doing it. Looking at this chart is kind of crazy though, everyone was pretty inconsistent >>153433696
Ilia really needs some ballet lessons.But then again, he's too old for that now.
Japan will win pairs and women's
>>153434754She's never going to look at him again
>>153434875It will be an American girl that wins gold, any of Alysa, Amber and Isabeu can. I actually expect all three to podium but I won’t overstate things
>>153434737This is why you stay humble.
>>153434623He got interviewed by Andrea like a second after the final score showed up. Handled it surprisingly well.The dude admitted he fucked up, got humbled, that the Olympics isn’t just another competition and is the real deal. Seems like he’s human after all, but I get it since all eyes and every tabloid was on him and the pressure was immense
>>153434908highly unlikely that all three beat sakamoto and chiba
>>153434908Alysa has a short, Isababe will be around the 5th, hard to say about Amber, if she can do a clean 3A then she may have a shot.Petrosian actually will have shot if she does not do 3A or Quads, that way she could finish her programs super clean. If she does attempt 3A or Quads, and if they are successful, she will definitely be on the podium, but if she fell from them, she will be definitely not on the podium.
>>153435010I think Sakamoto is overrated, too old and won’t podium
>>153435039>Isababe will be around the 5thShe still gets a certificate for that!
>>153434019Who is she?
>>153434645Technically he completed three quads. The problem was he fucked up the other four he was planning
>>153435152Russian National Champion in 3 consecutive years - the last one was specifically rigged for her but she knows.Injured the whole year last year, lost 3A and Quads, now trying to get them back, but extremely unstable. She also notoriously prone to fail the entire program, or at least “sleep walking” through it if she falls on her 3A or Quads. The current discussion is whether to drop them all together to have two super clean programs, but the final decision hasn’t been made yet.https://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00111203.htm
Is Ilia going to get pity sex from Isabeau? Or does that only happen in tv and movies whereas in reality she's looking to shack up with the Kazakh bvll?
Performances worthy of Friday the 13th
>>153435302no quads, no pleasure.
Quad demon arc?
>>153435357He'll delete all quads from his progam and exclusively jump triples from now on.
Nathan Chen wouldn't have fumbled the gold
Does suicide enter the mind after such a day?
>>153435398>everyone in the last group except the Kazakhstan dude was visibly distraught and shaken after finishing their runsYou tell me
>>153435419I hope they all get together and just do stupid shit all night. Broken rivalry, everyone expecting to win got fucked, let's just all get drunk and enjoy this stupid party.

>>153436313>cost of renting a rink is so high that the sport is essentially reserved only for the wealthy/privileged>more responsible use of time could lower costs and make the sport more accessible>instead, spend that rental time making tiktokswhy does isabeau hate minorities so much?
>>153433801Unironically we had a shitty Olympics during Trump's first term too and people were saying it had to do with how crappy people felt living with all the crap he was throwing into the public unconscious.
>>153434396I remember watching that live. I still can't believe that happened.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAADWfJO2qM
>>153436357No one cares about that in real life.
>dominate the gps that nobody watches>chokes in the only competition that matters>not even the jap wins the gold it’s some random kazakh that will never win any competition ever againeven if he seems full himself I kinda feel bad for the kwab godYuzuru the goat tho and fuck backflips ban that shit again
>>153436329.
>>153436422KWABNADA
>>153436404Google is completely useless now, those trends are as real as Trump's BLS job numbers.
>>153436329true, especially given population sizetotal mutt failure
>>153436462foreigners usually don't start the per capita thing until week 2 this is unexpected
>>153436419it would be really sad if he also skates badly at the world championship next month
>>153436473i accept your concession
>>153436391How is it ALWAYS a Chinese skater?Literally ALWAYS.
>>153436453no it's true here it is again>>153436481>only american flag calling anyone else a mutt>starts during evening hourslol ok
>>153436476Nobody cares about the world championshipThe reality is If he doesn’t win a gold medal in the next olympics he’s a failure even if he has 10 world titles
>>153436575obviously normies only care about the olympics but his career spans more than 1 event>The reality is If he doesn’t win a gold medal in the next olympics he’s a failure even if he has 10 world titleslol...
>>153436537kwab
>>153436609I hate to admit it, but Gay Pierre is right.
I finally saw Gogolev’s free skate. He did an amazing job!
>>153436537>the same debunked and disreputable sourceYou also need to understand that Olympians are actually intelligent people and not normies mindbroken by The Spectacle.
>sports thread>look inside>retards arguing over something irrelevant
Ilia lost gold and probably Isabeau tonight… yikes…
Now that the dust has settled, the ice really was fuckedItalians can't do anything right.
>>153436930That's it. I want another change.org petition.
>>153434102He had a way above expectations performance. Maybe this will reign in the spin to win aspect of it all. If it was another refskate situation maybe he'd feel like it was undeserved but you had guys falling out there on the easy stuff too.
I'M LITERALLY SHAKING RN
>>153436787>the actually intelligent people in questionthey're going after redditors!!
>>153437197>completely abandons the plan>looks surprisedthey hit him with the goybeam there's no other explanation
Are you prepared for bald, punished Ilia to get his revenge in 2030?
>>153433636maybe not in individual sports, but in team sports this isn't all that uncommon.even as a bong you are probably familiar with 18-1
>>153437396He's so dreamy
So is Ilia competing in anything else? Is there like a short program or something?
>>153437439short program and long program are part of the same event. short program came first.
>>153437396he lost an inch off his hairline out there...it's katie ledecky all over again...
>>153437396>goes bald>becomes the greatest there ever wasWhere have I seen this before
>>153437439He already skated and won the short program by 5 points. It's all over for him now. Village sexhavers won't even have him.
>>153437439Men’s is over. Worlds is next month I think though
Are there any figure skating events for tomorrow?
>>153437396He looks like the type of Grindr bro who rims on the first date.
>>153437582>>becomes the greatest there ever wasIt's too late for that, a GOAT can't have "came in 8th in the Olympics" on his resumé. The most he can do is salvage some of his dignity at the next Olympics, but I'm dubious that he'll even still be competing in four years. Figure skating isn't something you do for years as an adult
>>153437738I blame NBC, as usual. From the moment the clock hit 12:00 AM on February 1st and the Winter Olympics were on everyone's radar, they've been shilling and hyping this guy as the next coming of Jesus nonstop. If there's anyone they've been pushing hard, it was him.And look how that ended up. Meanwhile, the literal who Kazakhstani with a blank look on his face went in with zero pressure and is probably drenched in brapsledding pawg puss as we're speaking.
>>153437738yea the next olympics will be his redemption tour, at best
Is that Ilia Malinin's voice reading the fortune cookie quotes during his own program?
>>153437787>brapsledding pawg pussLol'd hard. You're a goddamn poet, anon.
Does the backflip add anything of value to his program? Or is that just something for the casuals to like?
>>153433636where u been? the Americans have to hype shit to get ppl to watch... their old darling was Vonn and they still pushed her this year... Summer Olympics has the Biles garbage
why not practice on bumpy ice instead of smooth ice?
I finally saw the Free Skates. It was tough seeing Malinin have such a bad time out there. But I thought it was really cool that he showed such sportsmanship when shaking hands with Shaidorov. Also, I thought the Canadian Gogolev did a really fantastic job.
It’s very obvious to me Ilia has undiagnosed autism and im not even trolling
>>153438017He's just socially stunted from being a child prodigy and speaks english as a second language.
I almost sympathize with the guy. The ego of skating to your own voiceover and weakminded shit aside, his whole career and future sponsorship prospects are completely derailed since he didn't get that projected gold in the singles free skate. Hell, he didn't get a medal in singles period.No wonder his dad was pissed.
>>153438028It’s more than being socially stunted like that would explain the bizarre cockiness, problematic comments and he also said he struggles making friends
How we feeling about pairs this weekend?
Imagine your own dad has this reaction. Kek
didn't have time to livepost so>Cha was cool, my favorite free skate>Adam choking was painful, I liked his short the most>Ilia choking was even more painful>at least Sato was finally happy about something, good for himI don't even know why I felt bad for Sato, it's not like he did poorly, he was just being a bitch. I'm still happy for him.
Hard act to follow for Samodelkina
>>153438305it'd be cool if deanna and max could medal
I don't even watch this gay sport but the choke that ilia guy had got my interested, can anybody explain to me why it was such a big choke? Was he really that much better than everybody else?
>>153438553Yeah. He’s the best by quite a margin. His routine is much more difficult than everybody else’s. But today he made multiple big mistakes that cost him. But overall, he really is that good.
>>153438553>why it was such a big choke?record shatterer crumbled under the olympic pressure and expectations>Was he really that much better than everybody else?yesnobody else in the world has ever landed a quad axel in competition and he's done it multiple times nowuntil tonight he won literally every single event he attended since the end of 2023pic relwhat the pic doesn't show is he also wins by a fucking landslidebut he choked herethis year's world championship in next month though
was Scott Hamilton the last great ‘Classic American’ skater?
I actually do hope Malinin comes back and wins at the next Olympics. That would be an incredible moment if he pulls it off.
>>153438620Not to understate the games, but what makes the Olympics any different? He's clearly been competing at a high level at a number of events and even knows more or less everyone he's seen this Winter games.Why choke now?
>>153437844No base value. It’s part of. Choreo sequence but doesn’t give or take away much. It’s a meme
Did Yuzuru Hanyu ever land a Quad Axel? Not in competition, obviously, but I mean did he land it ever? I remember he was trying it.
kek at the americans seething
>>153438661don't think so. the only ones i recall definitely landing it are malinin and vlad dikidzhi
>>153438553for more context compare his scores over the last 2 years>>153438620with the scores in my pic from this olympicscomparethis year olympic gold was a total score of 291almost all of ilia's scores over the last 2 years are above thatalmost all of his scores in 2023 were well over 300>>153438656>what makes the Olympics any different?scale and prestige i guessskating these days isn't very popular so this is a much larger stagedon't forget the months of press coverage and interviews he had to do leading into it tooso that added to the expectations and stress>He's clearly been competing at a high level at a number of eventsin the interview he gave right after skating he said he tried to tell himself it's just another competition but ultimately it didn't feel like that at all, it felt way more important
Yuna Kim would never have choked like this.
Pretty stupid of his coach to put the quad axel so early in the program. I say I put it towards the end and attempt it ONLY if the program is going well, otherwise triple axel it. The quad axel meme was his Achilles heel today
>>153438618>>153438620Damn, that's brutal.
>>153433825Totaal de kluts will now belong to my vocabulary.
>>153438722I see, so his average is well above the highest performance at this Olympics. So basically all he had do was be his average self and he would've won gold
>>153438733His dad (also his coach) raised him for the sole purpose of achieving the quad axle. You think he'd settle for anything less?
>>153438733Yeah that's where it started to go wrong. Could have had a plan to only try it if it's necessary which it wasn't at that point because everyone choked before. Also ironically maybe being so used to winning everything fucked it for him because people who are more used to failing in competitions may be more used to getting back to the routine and not fucking up even more jumps after the first one.
>>153438656ppl are stupid and think these comps only take place during the Olympicsguarantee you that 9/10 viewers have no clue about World Championshipsso the added attention/hype makes for opportunity of failure and also opportunity for underdog to overperform since they're hypedone of the dumbest examples of this is how the US mostly knows of Karelin through losing to Gardner, despite destroying Gardner a few years prior, with his godly 887-2 win/loss record
>>153438656The shiny medals and not being on every year make it feel more relevant and iconic so pressure is much higher.
>>153438759Well now he has to settle with 8th place at the Olympics son. If he was able to override his dad about doing the team event free skate he should’ve also changed his program on the fly like he’s done many times before
>>153438759it's like some fucking anime
is kazakhstan doing the song from 5th element?
>>153438788Sometimes coaches get too proud.Like Mao vs Yuna back in the day. The Japanese team got obsessed with the triple axle to one up the Koreans.
>>153438754exactlythis year's gold was 291.58ilia's worst skate in the last 2 years was 289.961.62 point differencefrom his worst and this year's goldand yeah his average has been over 300this was by far the worst skate of his career on the biggest stage of his careerthat's why i'm so interested to see what happens at the world championship next monthhow does he handle this? can he rebound?we'll see in march
Okay but which skater is the most sexy?
>>153438804Even more importantly what happens in France 2030
>>153438553Ilia's ceiling was so much higher than the others that he could afford a couple of fuck ups. But then he fucked up like 5 times.
>>153433931Was his predecessor murdered for the car he won for Olympic placement? That would be some serious irony
>>153438846he did a flip, a flip. da faq you score a flip lower than a spin.
>>153438846Even worse- he gimped several of his elements, changing them from quads to like doubles or singles.The other skaters in his group fumbled their jumps but still got higher scores per element for just trying. The dude literally psyched himself out because he couldn't pull off the quad axel.Doesn't help the media painted him out as "the next skating god who'll bring about a figure skating renaissance because he's the first ever quad axel and will get gold and will go unchallenged because he's the greatest."Way too fucking much for a guy who just turned 21 not even 2 months ago.
>>153439044Considering everything you said, I think it’s impressive how he conducted himself afterwards. He was under the most pressure and he totally fumbled on the biggest stage possible. But he just seemed very mature and graceful about it, which makes me think he has a good mentality.
>>153438824Men or women?Male, the alpha gay ass frog who got gold in Teams.Female, Lopareva because her red pixie cut makes me diamonds.
>>153438962Flips are memes. Spin jumps are MUCH harder. Especially quadruple jumps
>>153439044>Even worse- he gimped several of his elements, changing them from quads to like doubles or singles.not intentionally changed but yeah he locked up and baileda pro said skaters are way more afraid of bailing like that than actually falling for the reasons you saidthe base values for jumps are importanta quad with a fall is always worth more than a single>>153439059agreedi was very impressedi just hope this experience doesn't eat at him in a negative way and he can go back to skating his best
>>153434132>setupYou don't need a setup to play zoomer garbage like forkknife Claire obscure etc
>>153434844The ice dance was basically 1:1 from the short program
>Come from Aggressive inline background>Instantly recognize poor surface quality half way through the first routine, skaters looked exactly like when I would come off a grind or jump and land on something like gravel or rough asphalt.>Turned to my girlfriend and said, "Holy fuck Ilya is FUCKED I make a bet he won't be able to complete a single quad, won't be surprised if he breaks his fucking neck if he tries the backflip">Literally turned out correct >Go read the commentary, almost nobody is talking about the ice.It's interesting to me how my background of skating on all sorts of bullshit surfaces, as a blader, instantly made me recognize something 95% of figure skating fans and commentators haven't mentioned at all.>But but Gumennik, Gogolev and Shaidorov didn't fuck upThey literally went STRAIGHT after the ice was resurfaced, by the time Siao Him Fa or Sato were on the ice had complete melted again. I mean you had skaters literally getting their foot caught on fucking CROSSOVERS.It was 100% the ice. The whole "it was nerves" shit is bullshit.On the topic of Gumennik, Gogolev , hilarious how underscored they were. Gumennik and Gogolev absolutely deserved to be on the podium.
>>153440272Would make sense also that Shaidorov probably skated on all kinds of horrible ice back home even if he also trained abroad.
>>153440272I didn't visually notice the surface quality but there were a few falls in the last group where the blades obviously got caught in the ice. The most egregious one I can remember was Grassl.
>>153439044Alcaraz is only one year older and can handle pressure easily
>>153440501The difference is skating is small, tennis is big. Casual viewers see skating once every 4 years but see 16 slams in the same time frame. Carlos had many more opportunities to acclimate to that kind of pressure.
>>153440454Bullshit...... They weren't expecting the kazakh to get such a high score so they took risks
>>153440501imagine naming yourself after an island prison
>>153440673I'm not saying the ice is why Ilia lost but I saw evidence that the ice seemed suspect. During the NBC broadcast they had a slowmo of one of Grassl's jumps that showed the back of his blade clearly got caught in the ice and caused him to fall.
>>153440416Apparently he skates in a shopping center rink lol.>>153440454You can really tell the ice is fucked completely visually during the Boyang Jin routine. Also Simo's routine you could tell he was struggling to maintain basic speed even when just.. skating, he was trying to accelerate at points like he was at the start of a speed skating routine. >>153440673Dude they were crashing out on the most basic shit a child could do. A skate got caught during a basic crossover. It was 100% the ice.
>trannies are still fumingkekw have sex
>>153440815good... i'm glad the ice fucked them upshould've had more robust ankles instead of the twinkles they prance on
>>153441086I mean read my comment from last night"I hope Ilya eats shit and dies on the ice and Kazakhstan Borats to victory"I'm not pissed about the bad ice due to the results, the only thing annoying about the results is how clear the Japanese/anti-Russian bias is.What pisses me off is this wasn't fun to watch, every routine bar like 4 were completely fucked. It's extremely unprofessional to allow the ice be in this state during arguably the biggest and most celebrated event at the Winter Olympics.>>153432000Different mechanics on the big tricks sure, but there are a lot of really more interesting technical/fun moves still coming out wizard/mushroom blading that could be translated would make routines in figure skating far more interesting if figure skaters took note. Yes mushroom blading is very silly, but those moves and routines are ridiculously impressive.https://youtu.be/eQFwbLwdNgw?si=fHQyBKjEliSXI5vp&t=441https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdNFuSUK7Ow
>>15343773825 is still fine in Men's.Men generally do better with age to a certain extent, even.>>153437844No, it's quite literally pointless, it's probably just there because he wanted it in. If he did better choreography instead he'd score higher.
>>153440622-ack
What would happen if I was figure skating and I had a wardrobe malfunction and my penis came out and it was a big hard boner for everyone to see?
>>153442033it wouldn't even matter that you got dq'd because with a big hard boner, you're not hitting those jumps.
>>153442033hell yeah dude.
>>153438733It's planned early so you can get one out of the way on fresh legs.
>>153438733Generally you put difficult jumps, because you're still fresh at that point. Jumps in the back half score a 10% bonus on base value, which is huge, but people still generally don't do it, because it's much harder to hit late jumps than to hit early jumps.
>>153442033The rules give for such a case a point deduction.
>>153442033>>153442230they only deduct 1 point per inch so it wouldn't be that bad
>>153434192kekBut where are the other 9 Denis?
>>153440622If he fucked up there and landed on his neck would the news have the balls to report that he choked to death?
>>153445488the fact that he went for this while in full choke mode is insane
>>153445648yeah why would he even try it when he bailed on quads? that shit is actually dangerous
Alysa and Isabeau staying at the Olympic village on Valentine’s Day… it’s so over
>>153448083So did these two, in one apartment.
>>153449008SHES SO CUUUUUTE
Ilia is the most arrogant dickbag that figure skating has ever seen. Yesterday was karma. You get what you fucking deserve.
>>153452829Still gets more pussy than you ever will
who winning the women’s?
>>153453543Alysa or Kaori
Did the Borat country seriously win gold
>>153454530guy was pretty good, one of the only ones going for a high scoring program without fucking it up
>>153448083Isabeau reads books! Nothing's going to happen!
>>153442033Instant dq for public indecency and vandalizing game grounds with degenerate jeet micropp shenanigans
>>153453502Whatever you say number 8 lolMono God LMAO
>>153449008>>153451246puke
>>153440416I just went to a rink in varna today and the ice is atrocious and I wouldn't dare attempt much of anything but some locals were going all out. I'm talking horribly resurfed bumpy as fuck ice. Yeah I guess you get used to it. However I don't think the Olympic ice was this bad. Then again poor Mao Asada had such bad luck to get her skate caught in a deep edge on her triple axel attempt. I still think it was nerves, maybe slightly so iffy ice.
>wake up>ilia still lost and I wasn’t dreaminglmao based
>>153454530what's more surprising is their national anthem
>>153438357Fucking failure of a father frankly. Someone should hit him for that shit. Be there for your child, god damn.
