Athletistic/ Figure skating. American figure skater Ilya Malinin managed to become world champion. He won the title at the championship in Montreal, Canada, defeating the Japanese Yuma Kagiyama and the French representative Adam Xiao Him Fa. At the same time, Malinin set a world record for the number of points for a free program. The honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova spoke about this.

– Malinin was head and shoulders above everyone. But I would like to draw your attention to the following: everyone wants to ban quadruple jumps, limit them in one way or another, the ISU says that it is necessary to make the program easier. But such remarkable athletes as Malinin prove the opposite. Ilya has been pushing figure skating forward for many years! – Match TV quotes Tarasova as saying.
