I watched this kid when he was a junior, I was cheering for him!! he was incredible; his performance was better than the other skaters in my opinion. Nathan Chen was good too. I was blown away by his performance
Stunning performance. Love Jason Brown, but Ilia deserved to go. He will be an Olympic gold medal champion in the not too distance future. So happy to see these young skaters developing their skills. Isabeau Levito is another.
I don't think his PCS would be that high, we'll see how challenge cup goes. More likely to get a podium with Yuma, Shoma and a Russian skater if they do indeed decide to skip worlds this year
USA committee made a huge error by not selecting Illia to go to the Olympics. We know Jason Brown is a good skater but he cannot pull out the technical points Illia can. Big mistake and it will cost the US.
@@skatefan9495 have you been watching the scores of all the competitions this season? A score of 302 could definitely make the podium at the Olympics. There are several other guys that have the potential to get the same scores(over 300) but they are inconsistent. So it depends on if they are having a bad day or not at the Olympics. Jason Brown however, on his best day, even with a perfect skate would never come close to the podium. He doesn’t have the technical score. Even the ladies won’t make the podium unless they have quads.
@@shalom968 Could, yes, but likely wouldn't. One score at a National competition is unlikely to translate internationally and a junior skater won't get anywhere near the PCS of skaters like Hanyu and Uno, let alone Nathan.
@@skatefan9495 Olympic experience will be good for any young, talented skater, and it gets him name out there early to the international judges and the general public. Jason has already been to the Olympic, and he's more or less "old news".

@@cadenalexander1561 that they take advantage of her even if she is new in seniors. the first 2 in Russia and Japan always go to the Olympics cuz they are at their max :)
@@zofilep3612 that’s just because japan and russia are very powerful countries in ladies figure skating including USA. if your trying to make a point on the russian committee “taking advantage of her” then how did they still manage to qualify and send three athletes to this seasons olympics and worlds from last season when valieva was not even part of team FSR in stockholm?
Why are they sending Jason Brown to the Olympics again? He has no way of helping team USA or even medal individually? Ilia should be going to the Olympics...he would be a dark horse to win it all with all his clean jumps.
Ilia would have no chance to "win it all" against Nathan, Hanyu, Shoma Uno and Yuma K. He wouldn't even have a chance to medal against that competition, IMO. As for the team event, the US has Nathan and Vincent. That should be good enough. Russia is going to win gold, in any event.
@@skatefan9495 "no chance" is not definite though. Last Tokyo Olympics, we all thought Simone is going to win it all but everyone did not expect what happened. And Ilia has the quads to compete for the podium. Vincent on the team event? He is going to flop again and cost USA a medal lmao.
@@mocneeuq Well, maybe not no chance, since there is always a chance other skaters will make mistakes. But the chances of him making the podium would probably be less than 10%. He is up against not only Nathan, but also Hanyu and Yuma (top three at Worlds last year) and also Shoma Uno. All of those skaters are going to score higher on the second mark than a recent junior like Ilia. So he is going in with probably a 5-10 point disadvantage to start. He also has to skate perfectly--one clean event is not evidence he can do it again--and hope at least one of the top four makes two or more mistakes.
If he doesn't have the ability Jason has even less. Shoma isn't consistent with his quads he is. Mikhail is isn't consistent he is. If he got the same score here then he definitely had the chance to medal.
while he got robbed and out of US Olympics Team, maybe he can still grab Uzbek passport (where his mom originally from) and compete for Uzbek flag. I will root for him in the Olympics. Definitely has a medal chance 🥇
What a shame! He deserves to go to the Olympics instead of zhou and brown, what a disaster year! Malinin was very impressive! to the point of wow! Did he really do it, very disappointed in the decision. Obviously brown and zhou will be disappointing in Beijing, hopefully Chen makes it alone. Ugggg

WHy was he not sent to the WInter Olympics? HE is a freakin SILVER medalist! Jason Brown will nver have a chance to medal at the Olympics but this youngster can!
Chen was greatly overestimated? His program was way harder than anyone's so he blew everyone away with his TES, even after his errors. Also Malinin did surprisingly well and will prob have a great future but he still has a lot to work on in PCS: edges, speed, fluidity, musicality, interpretation. He still skates like a junior.
He was very good! Can use some work on his artistry but definitely hit the technical skill. He should have been a part of the Olympic Team. That experience at his age and where he is now with his skating would have been so beneficial for him
This kid would likely have made the podium at the Olympics. He is phenomenal! US Figure Skating selected Jason Brown. Jason is a great artist but does not come close to the 302 point Ilia received along with the Silver medal! Do you think Russia would not have hesitated to pick him if they could. Every other country would do the same. The US Figure Asscn needs to stop pandering people’s feelings and select whomever is likely to bring home medals. That is what the Olympics is about. If. Hen and Zhou skated well and Ilia did as well, we likely had a chance to sweep the men’s Olympic medals. Not selecting this amazing 17yr old age eligible amazing skater is a huge mistake. Period. Full Stop. Mistake. And that whole thing of looking at their body of work? Ilia recvd 302 points and silver medal. And he is consistent. The only body of work Olympics looks at are the short and long program they skate. The whole thing is just stupid. They need to get a better understanding of the word “Competition”.

Thank you for saying it. The gays rule figure skating in America, and that's why the quad-less gay guy was selected over the American Yuzu. American figure skating is a joke.
@@JosedeJezeus...the "American Yuzu"? Lol. Is that why Yuzuru fans like Ilia? You guys worship Yuzu so much that you would superimpose him onto another skater? Give me a break. Ilia is Ilia, and he will eventually kick Yuzuru's butt too, just like Nathan has been doing.
@@divinearia1601 i think ilias body shape is like Yuzu's, and that's why he reminds me of him. Body shape is SO important in figure skating. Only certain body types can pull of the big tricks!
@@JosedeJezeus...not really. Ilia has long legs but a short torso. He's not really like Yuzuru. And Nathan has a completely different body type. He's more balanced, in terms of legs and torso length, and also more muscular. Still, he is the quad king. Pretty sure skating talent and good technique have a lot more to do with it. Fortunately for Ilia, him training under Nathan's coach and team means he will also have great technique.
I know Nathan won, but this kid was the highlight of the nationals for me. I truly hope they send him to the Olympics.
They announced that he won’t be going to Olympics, same day )
Ilia should absolutely have been chosen to attend the Olympics. USFSA has made a colossal mistake.
Jason should step down, as enjoyable as Jason is , this kid is the story, and our best chance.
And he will go to,Olympics, in 4 years! This was his first senior year!
@@LuVirginia he is the first alternate, so technically he is going : )

...да парень конечно с перспективой..выдающийся прокат...применительно к Олимпиаде к женскому одиночному...Щербакову конечно переиграл..а вот Трусову нет...
Трусова не прыгает 4А и никто в мире тоже его не прыгает кроме Ильи.А ещё Трусова прыгает читерские лутцы
USA might have won 2 medals if he were picked to attend. Grrrrrrrr so angry!
Wow I just heard of this kid and I'm impressed! Much better skating than the so called olympic gold medallist
Much better than that 4th placer Hanyu who always falls, misses or pops his jumps because he can't do difficult jumps compared to younger skater lol.
Needs to work on his artistry, he has no flow. His spins are terrible. His arms flail, the music wasn't the best. A lot of potential, but he needs to refine the details.
Scusate , ma niente di eccezionale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My opinion why Ilia won't go to Bejing: because 1) he is not gay, 2) he is Russian.
Thank you for saying it. The gays rule figure skating in America, and that's why the quad-less gay guy was selected over the American Yuzu. American figure skating is a joke.
@@JosedeJezeus...the "American Yuzu"? Lol. Is that why Yuzuru fans like Ilia? You guys worship Yuzu so much that you would superimpose him onto another skater? Give me a break. Ilia is Ilia, and he will eventually kick Yuzuru's butt too, just like Nathan has been doing.
@@divinearia1601 i think ilias body shape is like Yuzu's, and that's why he reminds me of him. Body shape is SO important in figure skating. Only certain body types can pull of the big tricks!
Yes, the gay lobby is strong in figure skating, and those are the politics at play behind the scenes.
@@JosedeJezeus...not really. Ilia has long legs but a short torso. He's not really like Yuzuru. And Nathan has a completely different body type. He's more balanced, in terms of legs and torso length, and also more muscular. Still, he is the quad king. Pretty sure skating talent and good technique have a lot more to do with it. Fortunately for Ilia, him training under Nathan's coach and team means he will also have great technique.
are these results not a testimony to the benefits of being a nation that welcomes people from the world over???....open doors.... fewer WALLS....
