  • Ilia Malinin stole the show at the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championships by landing six quads and earning a silver medal. The son of Tatiana Malinina and Roman Skorniakov, Ilia has generated tremendous buzz this season, posting a quad+quad combination on Instagram and earning gold medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix. In our interview, Ilia discusses his learning process, working with Rafael Arutyuanyan, the quad axel and his goals for the future.

    It really leaves me scratching my head that NBC and Peacock are not sharing Ilia’s programs from nationals. Even Gracie’s short is part of their collection of highlight videos. I understand there were many factors that went into choosing the Olympic team but at the very least we could give him some publicity. We should be promoting this kid like there’s no tomorrow but after his brilliant performance at nationals it’s just crickets. I don’t get it.

    What a lovable boy! Still mad at USFS not sending him to the Olympics! big mistake!! (can't move on from this one). Ilia's 3A is so high, I believe he can land 4A in the future and all his quads' technique are so pure and old school, so rare and precious nowadays. Extremely excited to witness his skating journey unfolding. Wish him best of luck and health. Figure skating is cruel for a skater who lands and attempt difficult quads. Wish him a happy , healthy, successful and long skating career!

    • @1chienandalou
      @1chienandalou 2 роки тому +3

      They couldn’t have sent him because they had set the criteria for the selection more than a year and a half ago. They would have to change it last minute and say “oops” to everyone else just based on one unexpected awesome skate from Ilia? That would be unfair to everyone else. (As you can see Ilia also knew that he wasn’t really going to go no matter how awesome he did… as they had announced the criteria all that time ago and everyone knew. )
      But he certainly made a splash, and was well scored, and earned a ticket to worlds in his first season out of juniors! it was exciting to see him do so amazing at nationals, but the fed had to stick to previously announced criteria. Otherwise the integrity of the entire process would be down the drain. It could be discussed whether those criteria should be changed in the future, but it wouldn’t be fair to just change it last minute and only count performance at the nationals.
      Hoping Ilia will have many years of skating to show us, including at the Olympics!

    • @dariakukhar1595

      That was exactly my concern with Ilya not making the Olympic team right now when he is so strong, young and vibrant. Hoping that 4 years from now he will be as strong as competitive and motivated as now. Russians have a saying that you should nourish and assist in any possible way the talented ones, as the mediocre people will find their ways to the top by themselves.

      1chienandalou- "They couldn't have sent him"!? - not sure where you got this idea but they most CERTAINLY can send him and should. Unfortunately, they CAN send whomever they "choose" ... We've FREQUENTLY sent skaters who haven't even competed at Nationals (*very bad idea*) ... We've curbed our chances and placements for the future, not ideal ... but then again, they'd already used Jason in the Ralph Lauren Olympic wear ad campaign, hummm. . .

    @Nikas-S 2 роки тому +28

    Cool boy. His performance was amazing. This is so beautiful. His quadruple jumps are so easy, like they are triples. Thin, flexible arms and body. It has something from Yuzuru, from Plushenko. He skated and smiled. He smiled because he enjoyed his skating. It's such a shame that we won't see him at the Olympics. I really wanted Ilya to share the Olympic ice with Yuzuru and Nathan. But it won't.
    The first and second places in the championship of Russia are guaranteed to receive a place in the Olympic team. Third place may be considered based on the results for the season. According to Russian rules, Ilya would definitely go to the Olympics. For us, a big role is played not by what happened during the upcoming seasons, but by the form in which the athlete turned out right before the Olympics. For several months, the skill level of an athlete can change cardinally, both for the better and for the worse. Especially quickly everything happens in girls. Therefore, the main selection criterion is the Russian championship before the Olympics. In Japan, too, two first places in the national championship guarantee entry into the Olympic team.
    USFSA rules keep young talent out of the Olympics. Instead of those who are showing amazing results today, the USFSA is taking those who have performed better in the previous two years. Strange policy. Do you think you are weeding out unstable members this way? No. In my opinion, you weed out the strongest and demotivate young athletes.
    It seems that in America the rules for selection for the Olympics were adopted about a year and a half ago. I wonder if the experience of other countries was studied? Which country's skater selection rules formed the basis of the USFSA rules?
    Thanks for the interview with Ilya. It was very interesting.
    Sorry, my English is worse than Malinin's Russian.☺

    Lol...Ilia bringing a soccer ball to practice as a warm-up tool reminds me of Nathan and his basketball. Both also love skateboarding. I knew he was training his jumps under Raf along with Nathan but I had no clue Raf's team was also helping him with spins, SS, and choreo. His spins have gotten faster since spring of last year. It still travels some but he will only get better. Good to see him working on all these different things!

Nationals is only one data point among others so without being unfair, there was no way to justify putting Ilia (vs Jason or Vincent or even Nathan had he bombed at nationals!). Maybe criteria will change in the future so but for this event, it had to be this way IMO, else would have been unfair change selection process last minute.

      As much as we can wish they had to stick to the criteria previously established over 1.5 years ago. Since nationals is only one data point they look at, there was no way to justify putting Ilia in and kicking out Jason or Vincent (or Nathan had he bombed at nationals!). Maybe criteria will change in the future so someone like Ilia can qualify but for this event, it had to be this way or else would have been unfair to everyone else to change selection process last minute

      Same here! Polina Edmunds said that he's not the future, he is NOW based on what he's done at the US. She watched him in person and was completely blown away to see him execute 6 flawless quads with ease and flow plus his SS and musicality were good too even though he can still improve because of his age. She also thought that he should have been sent to the Olympics.

    Ilya Malinin is a hereditary figure skater.
    Ilya's parents is Russian. Mom, Tatyana Malinina, was a Russian figure skater, then she competed for Uzbekistan. Ilya's dad, Roman Skornyakov, also a Russian figure skater, played for Uzbekistan. But they trained in Russia, then in America.
    Tatyana Malinina began skating in Novosibirsk under the guidance of her father Valery Malinin. Since 1988 she trained in Pervouralsk with Igor Ksenofontov. She performed at allied competitions, and after the collapse of the USSR, at Russian ones. Since 1993, she has represented Uzbekistan. In 1994, she received a severe ankle injury, but was able to fully recover from it.
    In 1998, Ilya's parents moved to America. Tatyana won the NHK Trophy Grand Prix series tournament (1998, Sapporo), and then the series final (1999, St. Petersburg). In the same season, she became the first ever winner of the Four Continents Tournament (1999, Halifax) and won the gold medal of the IV Asian Winter Games (1999, Gangwon-do).
    She competed at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics but was forced to withdraw after the short program due to the flu.
    Ilya is a figure skater in the third generation.
    His performance at the American Championship is no accident. This is a regularity.
    It seems that the fate of Ilya was sealed before birth. His destiny is to skate. And he loves it. He skated at the American Championships and smiled. It's so wonderful.

Judging by the name alone, both parents have Russian, not Uzbek background. But they competed for Uzbekistan, as the rivalry and politics in Russian FS are as strong as in many other countries of the world.

    I loved this interview! It's great to hear this kid talk. Definitely taking the humble approach which is probably best at this point..... He is the most talented skater I have ever seen.... I predict he will land a CLEAN quad Axel in the next 18 months. He will be the first one to land it clean. Nobody else is close enough. I would love to see him bust out a quad toe-quad toe combo and maybe a triple Lutz quad loop in his free skate at world's. I don't care what anybody else says, if he does that and the big guys don't deliver, this kid will spank them.... Whether the judges would allow what is a whole other thing to consider... I don't care whether this kid's parents are from Russia or Antarctica or wherever... He is a gift to sharing with his training, genetics and skating culture.... He is better than all the Russians from Russia. He grew up in America and goes to school like a regular kid and he is the greatest.... USFSA needs to pull their heads out of their asses and give this kid the best chance to be his best and let go of any political B.S. What they have done not sending him to the Olympics is a shame sending a guy instead who is never going to do anything more than he's already done for the last 11 years in senior. What were they thinking. All you have to do is watch that kid for about 2 seconds to see he is arguably the finest jumping technician ever and he's got the genetic heritage and cultural pedigree to be the best ever.....
