[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ilia’s arrogance did him in.[/quote]

Wasn't he heard saying after his performance waiting for his results that [b]only if they had let him go to Beijing in 2022, he would be on that podium? [/b][/quote]

How so?[/quote]

NP. Because, theoretically, he would have gotten his nerves and Olympic inexperience over with, and then his second games would have been fruitful. See also: Nathan Chen Olympics 1 vs. Nathan Chen Olympics 2.

It was a controversial decision at the time in 2022 to send Jason Brown instead of Ilia. That said, Jason Brown performed well and was decently ranked. It’s impossible to say what could have or would have happened. I love Jason Brown and was glad he was on the team in 2022; Ilia did not perform well at that Worlds just a few weeks later.

Anyway, I wish Ilia all the best and hope he continues to mature, as a person and as an athlete. I feel for him, to have skated so well to help USA win team gold and then to fall so short in the individual event. [/quote]
They underutilized him last Olympics and overextended him this time. As a result, he was instrumental in securing gold for the team and was left with nothing in individual event. [/quote]

They had absolutely no business putting their A team into the team event.  He burned it all there and there was nothing left for the individual event.  They should either hold the team event after the individual meet or explicitly slot a different set of skaters into the team event.  You cannot expect top level runthroughs of the same program so frequently. [/quote]

He’s an overhyped bum

Let’s see your fat ass even get upright in skates.
