[@ngbilly1298]

absolutely a fabulous dancer, Malaguena is flamenco music and its so hard to skate to, he is doing it perfectly, look at his facial expression in this program, his glare is so decisive and sharp, you can tell he is really enjoying and has became the music.

[@willenebodine4786]

Wow, Wow, Wow! Great selection of music. Ilia's artistry has improved 100%. This program is a winner.

[@user-qc9md4iy6f]

I agree he is the Greatest of all time.The Way He does it is remarkable. Love to see him again at the world championships in figure skating

[@Bellajane127]

@@user-qc9md4iy6f Wow! Ilia just won gold at the world championships 4 days ago with a WR score for FS and also he has the 2nd highest combined score, just 2 points behind Nathan Chen.

[@fjr4205]

Working hard! I really hope for a long career for him

[@bryanbrian1341]

the camerawork! bravo!

[@OnIcePerspectives]

Grazie!

[@jaysky2000]

On Ice Perspectives always gives the best view of a skating performance! So glad you were there!

[@OnIcePerspectives]

Thank you! Me too! And hopefully there’s something I can do for the Olympics in Milano in two years!

[@thulekovish8188]

A spectacular video! Malinin's vibrant red shirt pops amidst the bright lights, against the white snow on the ice, and Malaguena echoes throughout the stadium. Dynamic and fantastic performance by the champ.

[@awuma]

IIRC, his mother (and co-coach) skated to this music circa 2000. Both his parents were outstanding singles skaters on the world stage, grandfather also a noted coach.

[@mlm6267]

Impressive. Gets better every time I view this program. Movement accentuates music. Totally connected choreography. Amazing elements completed.

[@Svetoque]

Both gorgeous - skating and shooting!

The atmosphere with the lighting and clouds is really cinematic!

[@42kellys]

I am just glued to the screen when Ilia is skating! Because he is a young man with style and posture and skills that are beyong imagination.

[@marypac4882]

My highest respect to Ilya and his parents!

[@TahiraSkates]

Every program he does seems better and more artistic than the last. Such a talented skater!

[@DawnDavidson]

Yes, I have really noticed growth in his artistry this past year in particular. Finally catching up to his technical prowess. @OIP - Did you have a filter on to get it to star like that on the lights? Really exceptionally beautiful.

[@Jeremy-wp4yh]

@@DawnDavidson thats because they removed the jumps. I think the original programme had much more jumping passes

[@tlmusic678]

⁠@@Jeremy-wp4yhno, this is a short program. It’s always the 3 required jumping passes: one axel, one solo jump, and one combination. Sometimes he switches out which jumps he’s doing, but the number of jumping passes has always been 3 for this program.

[@Jeremy-wp4yh]

@@tlmusic678 that would make sense. He always falls flat in the long programme. It looks like a jumping drill.

[@tlmusic678]

@@Jeremy-wp4yhI agree, this program is much better on him. Hope he gets a better long program next season

[@teresavicario5848]

That is some rough looking ice! A pass with the zamboni would not have gone amiss.

[@RebeccaTaylorTillery]

He was probably the last in his group to skate. They only run the zamboni between groups.

[@vickilindberg6336]

Enjoyed the new perspective & LOVED watching with No commentary. Thank you.

[@lisalockwood2296]

That ice looks pretty chewed up. Impressive he's still able to execute the jumps.

[@miidnxghts]

that’s because of italy’s atrocious organization with any sort of public event

[@agasays]

Love him!

Super programme ! Illia, do not let ISU take advantage of your talent and exploit you.

[@PBLE20]

He’s amazing for obvious reasons BUT, as any skater will tell you, the condition of that ice is horrendous and skating on it in that condition makes it SO hard to keep your flow and timing since your adjusting to bumps, ruts and really slow ice. Well done!!!

Technically impressive, and improved spins and steps, but he still moves as if he has not fully grown into his lanky body, with limbs flopping from one element to the next like a rag doll. A strong focus on ballet would help.

[@Sabine-fl9cq]

Quando Yuzuru Haniu si esibiva a livello competizione in gli spalti erano sempre pieni in ogni ordine di posti...Chiediamoci il perché e diamoci una risposta. Non basta eseguire perfettamente il quadruplo axel per essere un Artista del Ghiaccio...Il pubblico queste cose le comprende.
