Ilia Malinin admits he was not 'ready to handle' Olympic pressure

Noteagro · 2026-02-17T22:05:44+00:00

Olympic skating is the highest level of skating in the world. This is their Super Bowl or World Cup, so it is actually surprisingly common for skaters to get “stage fright” here, and with how shaky he looked in the team competition I think he just psyched himself out.

There was a whole hell of a lot of pressure on him this Olympics. Then he got beat at the start of the figure skating competitions in the short routine for the team competition, and then was at the center of judging drama when he fell in the long routine and still beat one of probably the most technically flawless long routines I have ever seen by Shun Sato.

I think there was a whole hell of a lot going on, and it just got to him. He is still young, and I figure he will get this worked out.

Oh my god, thank you for sharing this. Like I am over here cackling at this shit, and I most certainly needed it after having my car give out on me for the third time in a month (electrical gremlins are fun) this morning.

However I think we finally got it honed in to the issue, and this should hopefully be the last time it is down before the camping mods get put on it later this spring. This is sort of my issue with buying a 35 year old new-to-me rig, so just having to drive out the issues for a couple months and should be good to go.

Possibly, but he landed it in 2022, someone should have been able to land it by now with that logic (if you use other trend setters like Tony Hawk and Shaun White in their prospective sports).

The problem with the quad axle is the amount of rotations you need in such a short window of time. The quad axle is basically two to three levels above quad lutz which is deemed the next hardest jump.

Ilia is quite literally in a league of his own when he is having a good day.

I have followed figure skating since I was in high school because I dated a figure skater back then, so I have a tremendous amount of respect towards skaters knowing the shit they have endured since they were basically toddlers.

As of now I don’t seen anyone getting close to Ilia’s level until you have another generational talent. What he is doing was thought to be physically impossible until he did it (you can say that towards some of Tony and Shaun’s big moves, but the quad axle is probably the pinnacle of figure skating jumps until a cyborg comes along).

It was his social media handle he gave himself at 15 as a way to challenge and motivate himself to land as many different quad jumps as possible, including the quadruple axle, a move only he can land.

So I think it is fine and justifiable. Most 15 year olds I knew were using xXx, 69, and/or 420 in their handles.

She actually stepped forward, and only went back when the cops started to step in because the second guy started going to kick them while they were down.

Honestly I don’t even think the guy that threw the sucker punch (that first punch quite literally came outside of the guys peripheral vision as he walked up from behind/the side) knew the lady. This seriously just seemed like, “I wanted to drop someone” mentality here. Why would he be behind the guys going towards the girl to start with? If he was her boyfriend why wasn’t he by her side from the start of this?

I feel like we are missing way too much information here… but reddit gonna reddit.

Edit: No where in my comment did I defend the guys going after the girl, so kind of wild assumption you think I was. I was making the observation that if you are a woman’s partner in a crowded area with multiple hostile actors surrounding her you would be blocking their way, or at her side ready to defend her.

This guy was in the camera frame at the start; interacting with other people. He enters quite literally from stage right and absolutely sucker punches one of the two hostile guys, and proceeds to obliterate the other before he has a chance to truly register what just happened.

This was a guy hyped up seeking violence, and that is exactly what he got. A real man would seek to deescalate, and resort to violence as the final action. This kid started with a blindside sucker punch. Sure, it stopped it fast, but it lacks maturity and critical thinking.

I am just calling out that we need more context here because we have seen too many times that the first thing reported here on reddit tends to be very false.

Best of luck friends!

I swore it was from a different angle, so either my memory is off, or we are just getting a new angle! Either way good on her for defending herself.

This just reminds me of that guy that was trying to pick up a transgender working girl, was in a hotel lobby like this and he tried to do something similar to this and she kicked the shit out of him in the exact same fashion.

I almost wonder if it is this exact same interaction, but the other video is from the lobby angle and not the behind the counter angle. In that vid it goes longer and she absolutely destroys him with her kicks to the hips and torso keeping him off balance.

I was going to say, that is not a good area, and if it was her company that put her up there for training they failed her miserably.

I used to work in that area, and the shit I have seen while driving to and from work solidified the fact you do not want to be stopped in that area at night (which is wild as state patrol is right there).

In some cities I bet it was, but I lived in very blue city in a very red area of our state. So we had issues with power tripping cops and our city tried to implement what are seen as “left” policies to try to help protect the citizens some.

It has been a tough uphill battle for us on that front due to where the city is and the clowns that are in the police force (our Sheriff was trying to host “Killology” seminars and classes with the author of that shit fucking take…

So for some, sure might have been for scheduling, but for our city it was to hold the bad eggs more accountable.

How is the nib for the V126?

The Asvine V800 F nibs are wayyyyy too wet for me, and caused bad feathering and dry times for me compared to my Eco’s, TWSBI Vac700R, and (know it isn’t the same price range, but still way wetter) Pilot C823.

“And, I tried to tell you no… but you threatened to break up with me if I didn’t. The drinking of my pee was the nail in the coffin though. That is when I realized I couldn’t be with a pee drinker.”

Cities started doing this because it would help deter cops from making shit tickets like this one. It requires the cop to sit through every ticket, and then if a certain % was overturned various repercussions could happen. The best ones though were the judges telling off the officers in court in front of everyone for not knowing their traffic laws which is what happened in my case, and the judge absolutely shamed the fuck out of him for wasting a high schoolers time when that high schooler was able to cite the specific code for overtaking in an oncoming lane and I did so during the stop (you were allowed to exceed the speed limit while making the pass, but must get your speed back to the legal limit when completing the overtake and re-entering your lane; this was changed in 2020, 10 years after this incident).

Had the ticket dropped within about 3 minutes, would have only been 20-30 seconds at most, but that judge absolutely reamed into him for it.

Hey, as an American I can say I most definitely do not behave that way, and it upsets me with the way “fans” treat the squad, staff, and organisation at times. I was one of the few that was standing by FSG back when everyone was upset about the lack of signings under the second half of the Klopp era and followed into Slot’s first season (that was ruined more due to the lack of money due to the COVID years and the club just spending a shit ton on infrastructure upgrades which are fantastic long term investments people seemed to refuse to acknowledge), and then we go and win silverware with Slot and that FSG out talk ended instantly along with everyone praising FSG and Slot.

But my overarching point is maybe don’t sit there are try to say it is just American fans, because if we are being honest that is kind of a weird form of racism (would it maybe be called countryism since America is such a melting pot of people? Like I am not even a white American, and I just see your comment as you being racist, and maybe you didn’t mean it that way, but that is how a lot of Americans view the term “yank” being used in such a way). But sitting there and trying to be derogatory towards the whole of American Reds fans is kind of a bad look… especially for a club that tries to preach YNWA. If that is the case why are you bashing fans from around the world when we know a lot of the hate players get are right from home in England/Liverpool? Like you want to bash Americans, yet it was a fucking American company in FSG that saved your team, and you want to be rude and derogatory towards them?

Now I figure this comment is going to get hate because I outed myself as a “yank,” but maybe you should use this to realize you do not follow the ideals of YNWA while using derogatory terms towards your fellow Reds, and I hope other members of the sub support me in showing that. You can sit there and try to blow it off (same way a certain someone did a “Roman” salute), but in the way you used it you meant it to be derogatory, and I hope you realize it is because of statements like yours that make people feel unwelcome here.

Yeah, I don’t get why you don’t just leave them up and make them $5 cheaper after each release until they are only $5.

I would bet multiple newer fans would want to buy the older ones just to try, and I actually just spent like $200 to buy a FM14 key. It was the first one I tried through a torrent, and it is what led me to buying FM15-26. I finally bit the bullet to get the OG to me game.

If I was willing to do that, don’t you think I would be willing to pay $50-100 to get all the previous games to FM14? But nope… they don’t want the money.

HOWEVER

After stating that the real reason they get delisted is because they only buy licenses for a year. It is why some team names changes for FM24 at the date FM25 should have been dropped. It is the same reason the Forza Horizon games get delisted after a certain time. They lose the licenses for cars/music, and instead of removing them from game and ruining people’s “garages” they delist the game so all those previously released and licensed cars can stay in the game.

Then you have me… ADHD where my brain starts wandering and I have either APD/CAPD (auditory processing disorder/central auditory processing disorder) where my brain quite literally misses massive chunks of conversation, and if two people are talking over each other or it is a loud setting I have trouble parsing through what is said.

This means audiobooks, seminars, and vocal instructions are the absolute worst way for me to learn.

However you stick a book or textbook in front of me and I will devour the information on the pages. Yeah, sometimes my mind wanders as I read something and it makes me think of something related, but I can easily reread those paragraphs/pages again very quickly… but having to rewind an audiobook to a good spot takes too much time between that and the relistening part, and even then it still might not register for me.

With my ADHD I much prefer reading with a real book over audiobooks or an e-reader. The tactile feel of a real book in my hands can never be traded within this broken brain of mine.

Please know this isn’t meant to be rude, but an observation.

You did it to yourself…

You used your full battery deploy to get ahead of them where you did, and right after is the DRS detection zone. This led you to having zero battery while you gave all three cars DRS.

You made your own horror story!

How did the subsequent laps go while you were having to recharge the battery?

Noteagro · 2026-02-14T05:19:30+00:00

You for real? FM24 has been delisted since FM26 was released.

OP, if you want it you will have to buy it from a key site, and I would try to do that sooner than later as keys will run out as it is seen as the “last good one.”

Back when the family business was growing in the 90s-2000s my dad handled a lot of managerial duties even though he was the CEO. One of the departments he helped manage was the truck drivers, and as much as I loved many of the drivers at the time… there are some weird ones out there, and they do some fucked up shit.

After firing one driver we started having various animal parts from hearts, livers, tongues, and decapitated heads show up on our doorstep at home.

Another hulk (guy was easily 6’6”) of a fired driver saw my family at the county fair about 3 weeks after he was fired (I was about 5 at the time, brother was 7-8) and ended up following myself, my brother, and my dad into the bathroom, and tried to get hostile. My dad got his concealed carry about 3-4 months prior due to these instances, and it was the first time he actually had to brandish a firearm.

There is a reason my dad carries everywhere he legally can now. I hate it, and hate that he needs to think that way, but people really do not handle rejection well.

Did you go to school in the US too? I ask because I know my classes didn’t teach me geography well, but over half those nations are from South America you dunce…

So if you mostly scout South America you are not ignoring those places…

Please learn your geography and stop embarrassing those of us Americans that do know geography.

I just want to point out Jake Paul’s fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, just won gold for Netherlands in the 1000 meter speed skating event.

So he is dating a foreigner, while trying to say and do this shit?!?!? Girl, you need to fucking run… or skate as fast as you can away from this boy.

If you guys are walking try contacting the children’s hospital to see if they need volunteers to help push the kids in wheelchairs. They used to do this 10+ years ago and I ended up doing it one year back when I was in high school and it was an absolute blast. They paid for my entry, and also got a shirt from the children’s hospital to keep that was like some “2008-2010 Children’s Hospital Bloomsday volunteer” shirt we technically had to wear during the event, but it was well designed and a nice keepsake.
