Ilia Malinin's Quest for Gold at Figure Skating Worlds Hindered by Tough Competition

Ilia Malinin attempted a record-tying six quadruple jumps in his free skate to earn the bronze medal at the World Figure Skating Championships in Saitama, Japan. However, his artistic scores were lower than last year's, and he acknowledged that he needs to work on his performance side. Shoma Uno of Japan repeated as world figure skating champion, while Cha Jun-Hwan became the first South Korean man to win a world championships medal. Jason Brown, who did not attempt a quad, was fifth, and Madison Chock and Evan Bates became the oldest couple to win an ice dance world title.
