"American Teenager Ilia Malinin Dominates Grand Prix Final, Making Figure Skating History"

American figure skater Ilia Malinin, 19, made history by becoming the first person to land a quadruple axel during a short program at the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in Beijing. Despite falling during the free skate, he achieved a career-best score of 207.76 and won the title with a total of 314.66 points. Malinin, known as "quadg0d" on Instagram, had previously landed the jump in competitions last year but had removed it from his programs this year due to the higher risk involved. The quadruple axel requires four-and-a-half revolutions in the air and had been limited to a triple for 44 years.

Ilia Malinin Makes Figure Skating History with Quad Axel at Grand Prix Final

American figure skater Ilia Malinin shocked the skating world by successfully landing the quadruple axel, the most difficult jump in figure skating, during the short program at the Grand Prix Finals. With this historic achievement, Malinin took the lead with a score of 106.90 points, surpassing two-time world champion Shoma Uno and Yuma Kagiyama of Japan. The absence of Russian skaters due to the ongoing war with Ukraine was notable. In the pairs competition, Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin of Germany took the lead, while the pairs competition overall remains wide open this season.
