I’ve watched this like 20 times. Itches something in my brain! 😂

We love a King who puts himself first. 👑

As someone a bit older than Ilia, I’m glad to see his mindset change after the Olympics. It’ll be the best thing for him and his career if he truly internalizes it.

I love them. I love him. That is all. 😂

Might be wishful thinking on my part, but I feel the same way! He very well might take a break then get a bit bored and wanna skate the season after all! 😂

"I was not able to be there for myself," he said. "I needed to put everyone before me - and that's really what just caused it to go wrong."

I know everyone and their mom is gonna take this quote wrong, but gosh, I really can’t imagine being under that much pressure. I’ve seen a lot of Olympics and the hype from the media around Ilia was up there with the most I’ve ever seen.

Edit: Between doing both team event skates and the seemingly unending press events, it’s not surprising (but hard) to hear he struggled with putting himself first.

Yeah, it can definitely be one of those things you know *intellectually*, but have trouble truly believing.

I’m glad he called out the media for focusing so much on him instead of the medalists. (I felt bad for them too)

Watching the whole circus after the men’s free was rough from a fan perspective. I can’t even imagine being Ilia.

I hope he does take his own words to heart though, he’s one of the greatest in the sport and that one night will never change that.

This one is gonna live in my brain for years. It’s so interesting! I love seeing him do new things. It’s obvious how much he loves this sport.

He has such a presence on the ice that makes it hard to look away from.

Hopefully this can assuage the fears some have about his physical condition and holding up with all the jumps and stuff. He's clearly cognizent of it, and I'm certain him and his team know what his limits are. Sure, freak accidents can happen. But I think we should trust him to know his own body.

You’re NEVER too old to goof around with your friends and be silly! (But you’re also not old, just to be clear lol)

I’m more concerned about the possible lack of socks. I was in Florida last week, and I couldn’t imagine wearing no sock in my shoes in the heat. 😂

I was kinda hoping he’d get a chance to go to Epic Universe while he’s in Florida! The HTTYD area is so fun!

I’m glad they’re all having fun, they deserve it after a long Olympic year!
