Athletistic/ Figure Skating. The ISU awards ceremony took place last weekend. American figure skater Ilya Malinin won the “For Special Achievement” nomination. He was the first to land a quadruple Axel in competition. At the same time, many people remember Russian figure skater Alexandra Trusova. She completed five quadruple jumps at the Beijing Olympics. So said sports agent, producer and founder of the ISU Skating Awards Ari Zakarian.

– My personal opinion: Sasha achieved brilliant results, showing five quadruple jumps at the Olympics, this is an absolutely incredible breakthrough in the history of figure skating. But right now, I think the 4.5-turn jump was so groundbreaking that it outweighed the jury’s opinion. I think that’s why the jury voted for Ilya. As for future awards, I’m sure it will still be possible to come back to Alexandra and her achievement. She has every right to appear in this nomination, – RIA Novosti quoted Zakarian as saying.
