"Quad God" Ilia Malinin Wins 3rd Consecutive World Figure Skating Championship Title After Disastrous Olympic Performance
Ilia Malinin won his third straight men's world title with a total score of 329.40, landing five quadruple jumps after rebounding from a poor Olympic performance.
- Ilia Malinin retained his world figure skating title in Milan on Saturday, successfully recovering from his disappointing performance at the recent Olympics as the "quad god."
- Six weeks after a disastrous skate knocked him off the podium at the Olympics, Malinin successfully defended his world championship title with his aim simply to finish the free skate "in one piece."
- Malinin secured the gold ahead of Yuma Kagiyama and Shun Sato of Japan, while France's Adam Siao Him dropped to fifth after a fall during the competition.
- The victory matches American Nathan Chen, who achieved three consecutive world titles in 2019 and 2021, and Malinin shouted "move on" after finishing his skate.
- France's Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron lead the rhythm dance standings, with the free dance portion of the ice dance event concluding the championships later Saturday.
