Ilia Malinin breaks record for highest free skate score in history

Amazing skater (I think he did 6 quads in his routine?). Child of immigrants (what truly makes “America Great”, not MAGA).

2. That was amazing, thanks for posting.

Apparently that’s him doing the narration in the music, too. I had to look it up because I was curious about that piece.

I was a big fan of Nathan Chen and it’s been interesting watching Ilia mature and grow in the artistic side along with his amazing jumps. And Ilia’s only 20! He could dominate the field for several more years.

3. WOW!

My Mom and my best friend loved figure skating. I watched this for them and the universe is happy
