2:46:40 I can't believe how hard it is to find a pro quality video of this Ilia 2024 skate, since he apparently pulled SIX FUCKING QUADS during the program. You'd think the official channel would have uploaded it by itself, but this is the only one I could find.
If I've posted this before, excuse the hell out of me but I am not going back and digging through this thread to verify.
2:47:32 listen, as long as Ilia doesn't get injured to the point that he has to retire...
He's already one of the top 3 greatest figure skaters of all time IMO, and he's indisputably top 5 by anyone's standards.
He's made the ice his bitch, no two ways about it.
The only problem I have with it is just the blatant lack of foresight and the irresponsibility of being that hard on the body. Yuzuru wanted longevity, and that's why he didn't do this.
