ilia is now trying to evade blame and responsibility for his flop by saying he should’ve been chosen for beijing because it would’ve helped him handle the pressure. buddy YOU went around calling yourself “quad god” and comparing yourself to yuzuru hanyu YOU set those expectations
To those new to Adam, this is a must see. After falling to 19th in the SP, he rose to claim SILVER at 2024 Worlds. This even with a deduction for a backflip. HE is the reason it was unbanned the following season.

Since the Winter Olympics is underway, this is the perfect time to post Surya Bonaly doing her back flip on ice. Judges used to underscore her and I loved that she did the backflip in her last performance before retiring as a big FU to the establishment.
There is a very interesting mediocrity involved in anti-Black sports like ice skating. Surya Bonali did a significantly better backflip with a singe leg landing, a difficulty that was inserted because the judges did not score two footed landings. 28 years later NOBODY comes close
20260206 Mexican commentary:
"The glory days of figure skating are gone. Yuzuru Hanyu - what grace, what fluidity. Truly, if you don't know what Hanyu did, look him up, take a look, because it’s hard to imagine that the art of skating on ice will ever reach those levels again."
