Malinin (USA) | Men FS | ISU World Junior FS Championships 2022 | Tallinn |  

Now he’s the World champion in Seniors. Won these world titles two years apart, closer together than any man in history. Just love him and his skating.

Fantastic! The artistry will come. The lightness of his 4T and 4S is incredible! Excited for his career and hope he stays well mentally and physically!

He was in a class of his own at Junior Worlds. He is utterly amazing. I don't think I've ever seen such a young skater with such mind-blowing potential. He has it all - great jumps, great spins, great footwork, great style and flow and yes he has lovely artistry. Let's remember artistry is not about fancy arm movements but includes everything - style and flow over the ice, for me, makes up the majority of artistry as any fool can go out there and wave their arms about or strike a dramatic pose. I've seen videos of this young man elsewhere on the internet where he was doing some amazing combos - 4T/4T, 4T/4Lo, 3lutz/4T, 3lutz/4Lo. I'm quite sure he will be the first skater to land a quad/quad combo in competition and who knows, maybe this young man will the first quad axel cleanly.

His technique and jumps are phenomenal but I'd like to see more artistry and interpretation coming from him too but wow his quads are incredible, they look like triples! He makes it look so easy!

I’m so excited to see how he is going to grow as a skater. Everything is that makes a champion is already here

Absolutely fantastic , the lightness of his quads are amazing and this whole programme bursts of energy, this at only 17 and you know that he is the one to watch for. Congratulations Ilia this was exciting to watch!

I just started watching him skate AND HES ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

You know, I had remarked that I wished Ilia had a little more interpretation when I first watched this. Returning to it, I think I just wasn't watching closely. There are some really incredible bits of choreo here and his control never wavers for a second. Quads aside it's breathtaking. He's upping the ante like we've never seen it before; really pushing the envelope.

Congratulations, Ilia! I think the future for US skating is in good hands!!!

молодец, умничка! Казахстан Россия болеют за тебя и Мишу!

шикарно. абалдеть. 4лутц и 4тулуп с караблика и троек - просто глаз не оторвать.

He hit 17 and suddenly all his coordination kicked in! I was bound to at some point, but we can see from the past year that's when it happened.

Прекрасное чувство музыки, так же как у Чена. Должен выстрелить в следующем сезоне.

Congrats Ilia!! You and your team are on the right path. Keep it up, enjoy your skating journey and God bless!!

Браво!!! Красавчик!!! Привет из России!!!

Hes a wonderful skater improving every skate.his jumps are beautiful

The best FS ar Junior Worlds! Congrats!!!

Congrats to Ilia. I wonder if he's going to move to CA to train full time with Raf or will he stay in VA with his parents ? I suspect that he will make the move. I would get Nathan's choreographers to do Ilia's programs for the 2022-2023 season.

Incredible boy ilia ❤

this would have gotten him a potential medal in olymics and even if not a great cultivation experience. Instead take jason for a guaranteed 5th or lower with 0 cultivate and through away the future. Great strategy.

Mejoro muchísimo en un año, la verdad me impresiono! Va a tener una gran carrera, siempre y cuando no se lesione y se mantenga entrenando

I'm so happy he won here after the fall at the senior world championships. He looked so devastated there! Glad he has a happy moment in his career now. Genuine question here though: Can anyone tell me where the overlap between being allowed to do both junior and senior competitions ends? Is it an age thing or is a skater allowed to finish their year on the junior circuit if they move to the senior level in the middle of it? I'm curious why he was doing both.

Русский американец! С Победой!

Поздравляю!

His Russian is perfect! :)))

Move over Nathan and Jason , There is a new leader here.

Il mio preferito❤️

The future

It's obvious that he has the good sense to follow the Yuzuru Hanyu way.

Фантастик!!!! Супер!!!!

this is a beautiful song

He’s a kid. Bilingual. Favorite high school subject is physics. He’s on a half-day compressed academic program so he can skate 8 hrs/day. He’s brilliant and a world class athlete. What were we doing as teenagers?

Excellent elements but yes he needs improvement in artistry. Maybe Jason Brown could give him some help. Excellent skating!!

Love this skate! His coaches seemed a lot more excited about the score than he did though, I wonder what that was about?

technicly impressive. can improve a lot for the rest;)

quad king

Во время объявления оценок и после проката они говорили на русском, я до сих пор в шоке.

ได้เวิลด์​จูเนียร์​แล้วค่อยเทิร์นซีเนียร์เถอะจะได้ไม่ค้างคาใจ

I know Ilia can do this😁

He skated indeed beautifully and very clear. But for me, the whole show just didn't has the needed wow effect, it's just boring. Maybe because of the music? Anyway, congrats and hope he will improve more in the near future! Best regards.

Надо же на русском языке разговаривают. Поздравляю с победой

Extremely talented. A little more time and muscle and nobody will catch him!

😉

I didn't know the rules allow a skater to attend both senior and junior worlds. I thought they could only be assigned to one. This was a good skate but I would have given him Qs on the Lutz and Salchow.

Presentation point is too generous. And why so much geo everywhere when clearly some landings were shaky.

La langue de la patinage mondial est le russe.

Question? Do you think he is expressive?

Чен отдыхай))) Малинин тебя сделал..

Russian boy , Илья Малинин .. Good luck !

Don’t need no artistry. I like the athletic style of skating so for me he’s gorgeous. A true God. Quad Dod.

Why did he not take his dad last name?

he looks like 180cm with those long legs. Are his parents tall?

Why is he still competing at the junior level when he is a senior ?

Well he is Russian, thats why he is good

Not very artistic but technically amazing. Nathan wasn’t very artistic at the beginning too

Русские рулят. За США и Казахстан.

4Lzq, 4Sq, 4T-Eu-3Sq, 3F< - где хоть одни проставленный недокрут в протоколе? Или судьям хорошо занесли за Малинина?

Russian roots

He's headed to a more hands on experience from Rafael when he really needs Frank Carrol. I wish his team would experiment with maybe Pasquale for the short and Jeffrey Buttle/Lori Nichol for the free skate but i know it will be in suit with what Nathan Chen did, with his forgettable choreography. Ilia has skating skills but his choreography is... well... forgetful.He has solid jump technique akin to another Ilia from the past. The skating is... well, let's wait and see

He has more skating skills and interpretation skills in his pinky than some entire camps full of ladies with awful technique, cheated jumps, wobbly landings, doping practices, random leg kicks, weird faces of sorrow and flailing arms…

Технически хорош, все таки наш, русский парень! Но, мне кажется, по компонентам не дотягивает. Есть над чем работать. Coaches and the boy are Russian speaking. If he would have represented Russia, isu would definitely find some reason to cancel him.

Америка, Казахстан впереди!
