Athletistic/ Figure Skating. American figure skater Ilya Malinin, who became the first figure skater in history to perform a quadruple axel in competition, appreciated Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu’s attempt to perform this element.
“It was a pretty good try. I think at that time it was one of the best attempts to make that jump that was made.
But, to be honest, I would say that Artur Dmitriev Jr.’s attempt at the US Championship was closer to success. It really seemed that the jump was almost clean and there was only one step forward, – said Malinin, as quoted by Olympics.com.
