“I considered Chen absolutely insane at the start of his career. Then, in two seasons, he just became a divine skater” – Zhulin

figure skating coach Alexander Zhulin told that Ilya Malinin can and should add an element such as possession of his body on the ice.

Japanese figure skater Shoma Uno has won the world championship which takes place in Saitama. The second was South Korean representative Cha Jung Hwan. Third place was taken by Ilya Malinin of the United States, this is the first medal at the World Championships in the career of an 18-year-old athlete. His parents are from the RSFSR, former Uzbek figure skaters Tatyana Malinina and Roman Skornyakov.

– Are there still enough quads for Malinin to win?

– We remember Sasha Trusova at the Olympics. Here is your answer. Yet you not only need to run through the elements, but also control your body.

But everything is close at hand. I once thought of Nathan Chen as an absolutely stupid early in his career. He just jumped up and waved his arms. Then, in two seasons, he just became a god skater. That’s all. The main thing is to work,” Zhulin told .

Competitions in Japan will conclude on March 26, when athletes perform with demonstration numbers.

Russian skaters do not participate in the tournament by decision of the International Skating Union (ISU).
