Here's a copy of Ilia's Worlds FS ripped from the NBC broadcast - https://rumble.com/v4levk3-march-25-2024.html - Rumble isn't nearly as aggressive with copyright crap as YT.

Bryan Armen Graham’s 2nd article on Ilia for The Guardian (May 2):

‘I want to push the limits’: ‘quad god’ Ilia Malinin on his mission to save figure skating – and do a quintuple | Figure skating | The Guardian

At 19, Malinin is the only person in history to land a quadruple axel – a four-and-a-half-revolution jump – in competition, and he thinks he can go further. Will his incredible athleticism revive a tarnished sport?
