Athletistic / Figure skating. Legendary Soviet and Russian coach Alexei Mishin shared his opinion on the performance of American figure skater Ilya Malinin at the 2024 World Championships in Montreal (Canada). It was the 19-year-old American of Russian origin who became the winner of the world championship.
“Ilya Malinin’s performance at the World Championships is a worthy victory,” Mishin was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
Last night, Ilya Malinin received 227.79 points for his free skate, which is now a new world record. Based on the sum of the two skates, the American totals 333.76 points, which allows him to be more than 20 points ahead of his closest pursuer, the Japanese Yuma Kagiyama (309.65).
