Athletistic / Figure skating. Former Russian figure skater Katarina Gerboldt admired the level of performance of American Ilya Malinin at the World Championships. There Malinin won, setting a new record.

He scored 227.79 points. In the free program, the American performed six quadruple jumps, including an axel.

“For many, his victory was expected. It seems to me that Malinin deserves to be compared to great athletes like Nathan Chen. His results and his elements are partly genes.

When a talented child is born into a sporting family, the parent passes on their sporting experience and ability to set goals. Malinin is ambitious, his coach and his mother are experienced,” Gerboldt quotes “Championship.”
