Ilia Malinin (USA): First skater in history to successfully perform all 6 types of quadruple jumps. Malinin completed the set after landing a clean quad loop at the 2023 Grand Prix Final.
I’m not even going to lie, that was the most insane men’s free skate I have ever witnessed. Adam jumps to the podium after being in the first warm-up group, Yuma wins his third Worlds silver, and Ilia with a flawless free skate after all the question marks this week. The emotions. The whiplash. The drama.
Ilia Malinin (USA) performs his short program to Malagueña at the 2023 Grand Prix Final, landing the first quadruple axel jump in the short program with a GOE of +3.04 and setting a new record for highest base value in a short program in the latest scoring system (50.60).
i'm a huge backflip hater, it's not aesthetically pleasing at all and now boring american skaters do them in an attempt to showcase personality but they're not adam!!!
