If that's not ICE DANCING, then what the fuck is exactly?
Regardless, there's no way he's not gonna win Olympic gold at least once.
I'm not sure why I don't have total confidence in him...
On the surface, an Olympic victory for Ilia just seems like a given.
But there's this weird, inexplicable undertone of tragedy I feel with him.
Maybe it's normal to feel that way to some degree, since what he's doing is physically taxing, it's dangerous, it's crazy beautiful and you don't want anything to happen that fucks it up.
I dunno. I HOPE he wins at least once, cuz I mean come on, look at the guy. Can he do it? Sure fucking seems like it.
God knows he's the best on the scene right now, male or female, and we need hope for the future of figure skating but...
These folks just be doing too much these days. You can't have a long career with 8 quads in a row every time like come on dude, it's just fricken unrealistic.
It reminds me of Steve Perry and Arnel Pineda singing for Journey until their voices are fried. There's a fricken limit to human capability, THERE JUST IS. You can't do that shit forever.
That's what figure skating has become. Straight up.
