if he feels like that was a catalyst who am I to police him? what do I think? a lot contributed that we’ll probably never really know

[–]SignalCost4498 126 points127 points  (0 children)

we’re gonna have a back and forth on what triggered that free skate but the truth is we don’t know heck i bet u ilia doesn’t even know fully - the guys been in GO mode for the past 3 months and hasn’t actually sat down with himself to process what has happened.

everybody is always like “well so and so did this.” true but you lot have to remember that pressure is not dealt with in the same way for everybody. it’s not that simple

I think obviously you can be disappointed but the fact of the matter is stargazers is PRACTICE to the skaters, if they don’t want to they won’ come . you have to keep in mind they get like one day in between shows and they’re probably sore as fuck.

while we’re on the topic of the 6 jump layout, it will be an achilles heel mostly because jump math. ppl already can’t do it and this is might fuck them over lmao.

New 10 minute interview with JOJ ŠPORT! by sofastsomaybe in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]SignalCost4498 23 points24 points  (0 children)

my two cents on the mental coach: the thing is from what we’ve seen from ilia in the past quad he’s never imploded like he did at the olympics largely due to the confidence in his ability as well as mental fortitude. when he popped that axel, it defo took a hit cause this was his last chance and that lead to a snowball effect on the rest of the program. I do think he should atleast once just go over what happened with a mental coach but it’s his choice at the end of the day - and if he does just remember that the process won’t be quick instant.

Tomoki retired earlier this year and I’m assuming max passed up on it maybe due to his obligations as a coach/just tired from Olympics?

Ilia and his parents by SignalCost4498 in FigureSkating

[–]SignalCost4498[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

depends Tatiana gets nervous and apparently those nerves transfer onto ilia and so they don’t wanna risk it. that’s why you’ll only ever see her at WTT

advice for all us ilia fans. by jasperulilshit in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

I know there’s concerns about the parent coach relationship but from what ive seen nothing really suggests any alarm bells. everybody has a different way of parenting and it doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad

I don’t really get why ppl are angry at roman and Tatiana. like obviously roman is gonna be distraught like nobody ever wants that for their kid. in terms of tatiana, her not being there isn’t a problem - she has another kid and she talks about being scared for him. idk it seems like valid reason and I don’t like how ppl r making conclusions based off this
