BOSTON (AP) — Ilia Malinin secured his second consecutive world title on Saturday, March 29, delivering a captivating performance that electrified the crowd at the TD Garden. The 20-year-old American skater’s display came less than a year before the upcoming Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
Donning a black suit with red glitter, reminiscent of a vampire, Malinin executed six quadruple jumps, a feat befitting his moniker, “Quad God.” He amassed a total score of 318.56 points, surpassing Kazakhstan’s Mikhail Shaidorov, also 20, who scored 287.47 points, and Japan’s Yuma Kagiyama, 21, with 278.19 points.
Malinin, considered the frontrunner after his performance in the short program, held a narrow lead of only 3.32 points over Kagiyama, the 2022 Olympic vice-champion. Kagiyama,appearing strained,committed several uncharacteristic errors,allowing Malinin to ultimately win by a margin of more than 30 points.
Siao Him Fa Finishes Fourth
France’s Adam siao Him fa, despite a strong showing, finished just shy of the podium. after ranking ninth in the short program, Siao Him Fa (275.48 points) climbed five spots to finish fourth, delivering his best free program of the season. He was unable to replicate his performance from the previous year, when he surged from 19th place to win a bronze medal. Falls in both programs cost him a place on the podium, finishing less than three points behind the medalists.
obviously, I am a little disappointed, but on the other hand, I am aware of the errors that I made in my two programs,
Siao him Fa said, reflecting on his performance to the soundtrack of the film Dune. But I took a lot of pleasure to skate. I went beyond this stress that I could have on the short program, and I really had fun skating for the public.I really tried to live in the character.
His coach, Cédric Tour, praised his effort, saying, He fought like a lion. Frankly, I am proud of him.
Aymoz Claims Fifth Place
Kevin Aymoz delivered a strong performance to secure fifth place. It’s too good! I enjoyed myself so much today. It was the hardest day of my career. I have never stressed so much in my whole life,
Aymoz said. He had finished 22nd at the European championships two months prior. I think that today I would not be so strong if the Euro had gone well. This put a little of the order in my stomach.
Malinin’s victory capped off a successful run for the United States, who secured gold medals in the women’s event with Alysa Liu and in ice dance with Madison Chock and Evan Bates.
The only title that eluded the Americans was in the pairs competition, won by japan’s Riku Miura and Ryuichi kihara.
