Has figure skating reached the limits of human performance?
Ilia Malinin landed quadruple jumps in three segments at the U.S. Championships, pushing men's skating technical limits since his first quad in 2022.
- Ilia Malinin competed across the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, appearing in the men's short program on Jan. 8, the free skate on Jan. 10, and the 'Making Team USA' performance on Jan. 11, in St. Louis.
- Ilia Malinin's September 2022 jump at an upstate New York meet landed a jump many thought impossible, boosting him as the self-anointed 'Quad God' and breakout figure.
- Rising technical content has stirred discussion about judging and athlete health as skaters escalate quadruple attempts, with Stephanie Scarbrough and Jeff Roberson, Associated Press, documenting the debate.
- Making Team USA performances, including Amber Glenn, factored into roster discussions, as analyzed on the Milan Magic episode with Christine Brennan and Brian Boitano.
- If the technical ceiling keeps rising, governing bodies of figure skating, coaches and judges may need to adjust training, selection and rules while addressing athlete health concerns.
