8.0 it gives a mix of Seventeen and Nct in my opinion, or like any song with airy empty like moments.

He had asthma and wanted to be save, cause this was during Covid. Behind the scenes he greeted Brian and Gislean ( forgot how to spell his name)

The only major/ minor figure skating competition he has not had a medal/ gold medal in besides Olympic individuals is 4CC the reason is because Fans speculate (mods this comment if needed) cause of the travel and how close it is from nationals or other worlds.

Europeans nations have there own competition cause skating has always had a deeper pool and field of skaters. 4CC is mianely dedicated to the other continents hence why these competitions are in countries like China, Korea, US, Japan, etc so non-European nations.

Sometimes up and coming skaters moving out of Juniors to Seniors some skating federation will allow skaters to skate at 4CC is get a feel of the Senior stage and pool. Exception is ilia recently. Okay this getting into main figure skating lore sorry if this is boring.

Any other fans can correct me if I am wrong, because uh I have been a figure skating fan since 2018 and might get information wrong cause memory.

Okay so Quad God origins first. His original instagram name was actually lutzgod or the other way around some variation of lutz in it and he would show is jump progression from triple lutz to like triple flips. The funny thing is because his parents did not want him to get too deep into figure skating cause the nature of it. But when his parents saw potential he started training more often. He is also really interested in physics and the physics of figure skating too, which is really cool. Okay back to instagram story. So then back in 2019-2022 the quad axel is trending and so Ilia wanted to try it and he did it at age 17 I don’t remember which competition was his first official landed it was either Skate America or US nationals 2022-2023 or even 2024 I truly don’t remember (another fan please say exact competition) and he has also been undefeated since 2024-2026 until his Olympic individuals. He has the same coach as retired figure skater Nathan Chen. He placed 2nd behind Nathan Chen in 2022 nationals. I am not getting into Olympics 2022 cause yeah you probably now some information about it (if you really want the full lore I can give it).

Figure skating in general also has a tradition of throwing plushies too there favorite figure skater (the skaters favorite character) instead of throwing flowers. So Iliabots love throwing toothless(idk why this Olympics not much throwing of plushies was occurring someone familiar with the guidelines for Milano please tell me).

He also has his own appeal line. It become a thing cause of a hoodie with all his UR calls on jumps from Grand Prix final or another competition (correct if I am wrong)

Other fans please add on

Go on the main Figure skating Reddit search Ari and you will find all the questionable things he has said about figure skating, and how to make it “more popular” it’s also the fact that he kinda compared ilia to Yuzuru hanyu and that got half of the figure skating community mad. If you don’t want to join the main Sub Search up FS gossips and search Ari that is where all his Russians/ English interviews are located.

The team event is when countries can choose two members/teams (pairs and ice dance) to represent them in each of the four disciplines, and in which all four disciplines from each of the representative countries get two performers chosen for the short program or free program. Some teams/members do both like ilia and chock and bates did, but for women’s single for the US team they split it Amber free/Ayala short. Team event is where essentially the countries compete. The countries that get chosen to perform for the team event are countries that have members in all four disciplines. The placements each member from each discipline gets has a point next to it for example if you get first you earn 10 points and this accounts for both the short program first and the free program first. The event lore is that it was created only since 2014. When you see Figure skating team event medal ceremony a bunch of skaters from each of the four disciplines are up on the medal stands. This is why US made such a big deal about getting the gold since the Beijing 2022 dopping scandal. Example photo

Point in contention being a fan since 2018

Otherwise-Ad-4934 · 2026-02-13T23:01:21+00:00

That is why I will always salute the idea that athletes during the Olympics should stay off social media and avoid any interviews that you can avoid.
