Choreographer Alexey Zheleznyakov named American figure skater Ilya Malinina the main discovery of the year for you in 2024.
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.
—Everyone was in something different. I was very surprised by Malinin, a man of our blood. He impressed me with his performance with the most complex elements. Jumping a quadruple axel in competition is worth a lot. Malinin definitely became a kind of discovery for me,” Zheleznyakov said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
