Gumennik on Malinin: “We must strive to surpass his level”

Russian figure skater Pierre Gumennik stated that one must work hard to surpass one’s skill level Ilya Malinin .

In March, the World Championships were held in Montreal, where Malinin, representing the United States, became the best in men’s individual skating. During the free program, the 19-year-old skater completed six quadruple jumps, including a 4.5-turn Axel.

— It is still difficult to think that it is possible to surpass Malinin’s level. You have to strive for it, work hard for it. But it’s still a sport, anything can happen.

I believe our singles skaters could definitely challenge for the podium at the World Championships. I was very impressed with Adam Xiao Him Fa and his jump. Given the way he skated the court, you can definitely fight,” Gumennik said as quoted by “Championship.”
