I have a feeling most people (not those true figure skating fans of course, just people generally interested in sports) do not fully realize how huge it is. It is like Usain's Bolt 100 meters world record level. 44 years of waiting for one more rotation. Great job.
@@paolo1391 OMG, why did I not know about this. What a great skater. Thanks for the link. Probably there will be others to come, but Ila's quad Axel is top notch.
A LOT of people who watched figure skating in the last decade don't watch is for the sport but for Yuzuru Hanyu, which is why so many are so negative towards someone else making history int he juno that he aimed to but never managed to do
@@dleung4623 If that is true (about watching figure skating for Yuzuru only) then it is the strangest thing ever. I have been watching figure skating for over 40 years now and the reason I still enjoy it is there are a lot of talented skaters in this sport. Why not support them? Getting too invested in one person (or I should say - in one person only) makes some you all a little bit too sulky. Yuzuru was so successful but maybe let other people shine too?
It is SO HIGH !!!! I can't even believe the 4A has finally been done. I thought yuzuru was our only hope!! This is incredibly impressive. This kid is insane, I wish he doesn't end up injuring his landing leg like our retired all time master tho.
Thanks for your excellent advice for this young champion. Mr. Hanyu, Honorable Young Warrior, is a talent beyond this world inspiring everyone. I appreciate him, his skill and artistry. The future is very bright 😎. THANKS FOR SHARING HIM WITH US. 🙏
Was soll das alles bitte ? Yuzuru hat schon vor 3 Jahren vierfache Sprüngen in seinem Programm. Und zwar absolut sauber und zwei mal hintereinander auch in Kombination mit dreifachen Sprung. Ja, es ist schon bemerkenswert wenn andere Eiskunstläufern können vierfache Spung absolvieren, aber so was wie " wooow" oder " ersten mal in Geschichte" ist übertrieben. Und so was schreiben weil es handelt sich um einer Amerikaner mit ukrainische Wurzeln ist unangemessen, meiner Meinung nach.
@@daduschfrankel4844 ... Your name is perfect for you... In Chicago, they would call you__DaDOUCHE!!! So you even understand what a quadruple Axel is? Are you aware Hanyu never was able to land one cleanly and fully rotated?
Wish I was there too to witness this historic 4A jump being landed. Ilia said he couldn't hear his music for a couple of seconds because the cheering was so loud after he landed the 4A.
If you’ve never watched figure skating then you should know that this kid just made history. People use to think that landing a quad axel was impossible but not anymore
4A - 4To - 4Lz - 4S - 4Lz+1eu+3S - 3F+3To - 3Lz+3A . That’s quite scary. Now he needs to bring artistry to his insane program. His technical arsenal is higher than Nathan Chen and obviously higher than Trusova.
Yeah I agree. Jumps are amazing, but he needs help with his choreo, and his footwork/edges need to be deeper. That aside, an absolutely insane programme, and really well done. I'm sure his team are already working on the rest. It'll come as he matures. Can't wait to see his career progress! Well done to him 👏🏻💖🏴
@@lindatannock He's 17! The artistry and edges will come. His team has said he is prepping to do all 6 jumps as Quads in the free, with the 3Lz-3A combo too, this season - beyond words. A very special young athlete reaching for the stars.
I know. I just keep watching it over and over. Breathtakingly beautiful! How high was his jump do you think? It looks like his jump was so high. I read he said he is mulling over a quintuple axel in the future.
Lol if he’s like the other Russian girls… one season and he’s broken… at my times you would have a career of 8/10 years… now you are lucky if you see these robots for 10 months in a row… sad reality of Russian figure skating today.
@@makaelaischillin I know… training method is the same. But there is more hope for a man to last than a woman. Women as soon as they develop physically it’s over. So let’s hope.
I'm confused that people who bring up injuries in the comment section you must just be a negative person and always look for the negative I mean what's the point I'm completely confused by you and your like
this is is just so unreal wow. he just made HUGE history he’s the first to ever land a quad axel in competition ever and he’s ONLY 17. he’s truly a prodigy i only hope this new achievement doesn’t put too much pressure on him :(
Figure skating is very young sport. Some jumps become impossible when body fully develops. Look at women’s skating, most winners are teenagers and they retire by 20. This is not to undermine any of his achievements. Quadruple axel will go down in history. I just hope he doesn’t injure himself before Olympics.
To be fair, based on the amount of quads he’s doing and must have been practicing, it will take a toll on his young body. He must ensure that as he matures, his technique will still work as his body will no longer be as light, soft & quite possibly underweight.He seems to have a very bright future ahead of him though, if his body doesn’t break down like many young skaters before him by the time he reaches the olympics.
Not only were the jumps spectacular, especially the quad Axel with over a 4 for GOE, but the music and choreography were some of the most original and fun to watch that I've seen in quite a while.
Huh? No, the GOE was nearly maximum which is affected by the quality of execution and in this case i doubt that hands in the air would have made a huge difference. What should be changed though is the base value of the jump which is ridiculously low
He’s absolutely sensational and at such a young age, he’ll clean up his choreography a bit and only keep getting stronger and better. He’ll be winning the gold 🥇
I can't wait to see how he grows as a performer now he has displayed he has the technical ability. However I feel it means it's opened doors for quintuples, but we'll see. We never thought a 4A would be possible and yet here we are
Congratulations Ilia Malinin! I hope Yuzuru feels assured that the young skaters are taking the sport to higher levels. Rest well Yuzuru! The next generation is doing great!
Sensational and so exciting to watch this still young guy getting better and better. Superb technique and is artistery has really improved in a few months. Unbelievable how talented this guy is. Please stay healthy and without injuries Ilia!
i’m almost a year late to this but he’s gonna have an insane career, i can already tell. i can’t wait to see what he continues to bring to ice and competitions
It's purposefully scored "low" due to how dangerous that particular jump is . It's amazing he's done it twice in comp now but I wouldn't bother doing it again . Ain't worth it risk v reward .
@@dillonj_offical4420 Agree with you. Women are landing quads left right and center. It makes sense that this is the next iteration. I think a 5T is next and very possible.
Absolutely outstanding. I'm aging myself but I remember the excitement of the first triple axels in competition. I just wish there was more emphasis on artistry.
Amazing! He makes every quad looks easy by doing it with fun and freely. He even smiled when he fell. Looking forward to him on the Olympics! Officialy a new fan!
Landed a quad axel, fell on a triple sal. That's crazy! Happens all the time in sports I guess, you nail the biggest challenge but the adrenaline after is tough. Amazing performance regardless. Can't believe I hadn't seen it yet
Stunning : ) Incredible. What a treasure and what a joy that his prowess is captured for posterity. With admiration. Compliments for the choice of song, the choregraphy and the Quadruple Axel. Unique. Precious Gem. He has the gift ! I love him : ))
Incredible...i've been watching figure skating since 1989 as a kid and remember seeing Kurt Browning doing a quad toe and never expect this to be possible. unbelievable!
Don’t even watch skating heard someone pulled off the first QA ever and had to see the hype, but let me say that’s heart and dedication kid 10 10 10 10
That first quad was so stealth, it was like falling off a log. I couldn’t even count the rotations before it was over. Is he the first skater to do every single jump as a quad? He can spin like a top because he’s built like a reed. He’ll be one to watch. I can’t help feeling though with the obsessive hyper focus on quad jumps, the fundamental artistry of ice-skating is going out the window. Beautiful edges don’t get mad points like quad jumps do.
Came across this while looking for something to watch while waiting to board a plane.I have shown it to everyone I know.Such an amazing feat of athleticism,and just beautiful.
@@ivy-ys8or only time will tell. I wish I didn't but I KINDA do agree with you because the jumps he's landing and this young... something catastrophic is bound to happen. But of all future things to happen I pray that at MOST he looses his 4A by the time he hits olypmics and nothing else.
He did great. I always wished Yuzuru would have to been able to forfill his dream. He truly deserved it. This person did really good. I hope he won't get injured like Yuzuru always did. To me Yuzuru is special because, of his persistence, despite his health. I'm happy he's healthier now.
