American Ilia Malinin landed only the second quadruple axel in competitive figure skating history at Skate America on Saturday, a month after he executed the move for the first time at a lower-level event.
The 17-year-old had become the first person to successfully perform the difficult move in competition during his free skate at the U.S. International Figure Skating Classic at Lake Placid, New York, last month where he won the gold medal.
Skating to "Euphoria" by Labrinth, he repeated the feat to thunderous applause during his free skate at his senior Grand Prix debut to take gold."I felt great," Malinin said. "I'm still in shock and I don't really know how I pulled that off. I just trusted in my practice and it worked out well. I knew when I stepped out on the ice for my warm-up that I would go for it.
