    I hope GMA does an interview with Ilia and his parents who are his coaches. It's so amazing how they were able to accomplish this WR super inspired and breathtaking FS as a family. Totally agree! Ilia did a masterclass in technique and made it look effortless!! Sad that some fans are nitpicking about the edges, spins and speed. He's only 19yo so he'll just got better in everything in time because he's very driven on improving every aspect of his skating. He shoots for the stars. Keep up the good fight Ilia and God bless! Praying you're able to stay healthy, strong and humble. 😃🙏❤❤❤

    Illia Malinin must be a contender for ESPN's sports performance and athlete of the year. His performance has never been done in the history of the sport. Illia Malinin, in 4 minutes, revolutionized skating. ESPN is filled with a bunch of straight men who will look right past the sequins and give awards to athletes in football, basketball, and baseball. For ESPN to deny Illia Malinin recognition will be an affront to the sport of ice skating and demean the athletic genius it took to pull off this performance.

A truly brilliant artist, a complete athlete, an actor, a dancer, he has such charisma, crazy charm, something extra and he is made for jumps, going, flowing, flexibility, he is a virtuoso of highlights, fabulously beautiful and more. He has everything going for him. The varied figures and jumps follow one another like a river following its course. Fiery, passionate, gifted at improvisation and arrangements: he is unclassifiable, immeasurable. Super and superb! Interstellar electron defying the laws of gravity. Bravo to Ilia Malinin, so young! So much weight on the young shoulders of this star and icon of figure skating. Fortunately he is very well surrounded. Compliments of Switzerland

    I hope USFS takes care of Ilia and markets him better because they clearly dropped the ball in the past when they marketed Nathan Chen to the public. They have another chance to grow figure skating in the US through Ilia. If figure skating gains more popularity, then Ilia and all the other American skaters would have so many opportunities with sponsorships/brand deals - and we all know figure skating is a crazy expensive sport, so these sponsorships and deals would help them tremendously. I want to see them in commercials, cereal boxes, magazines, Netflix specials.. etc.

      @@bts_txt27jenn63 Listen to her introduction, doofus. I specifically mentioned her "introduction" in my first sentence where she states earning the "highest score in history DURING his freeskate". That's NOT the same as her phrasing at the end where she says at 1:36 "the score, the highest ever FOR a freeskate". There's a big difference there. A skater can certainly post the highest score ever for a competition "during" his freeskate, but that's different than scoring the highest ever for the freeskate alone. Her poor phrasing easily makes it appear Ilia earned the highest score ever during a historic freeskate, but that's NOT the case. He earned the highest FREESKATE score ever. That's how it should have been specified. Clearly, you're not a reporter or writer.

      @@aihngelleyou mean how he made a stupid joke about PCS? Typical teenager comment that honestly is pretty tame compared to the norm. What he said was stupid but not egregiously bad. He deserved a slap on the wrist for that. Twitter types just don’t like him because he’s a mildly cocky white kid and they’re getting PTSD from sitting by themselves at lunch in high school.
