He was instead invited to2020 Skate Americaafter theGrand Prixseries was converted to semi-domestic events. Malinin placed a surprise fifth at Skate America after unveiling two newquadruple jumps– toe loop and Salchow – that he had learned during lockdown.[12]As a result of his placement, he was invited to participate in the Las Vegas Invitational, where he helped TeamTaradefeat TeamJohnny.[13]Malinin was unable to compete at the2021 U.S. Championshipsafter missing the qualifying competition due to an ankle injury.[14]

2021–2022 season: World Junior champion & two Junior Grand Prix gold

edit

With the resumption of theJunior Grand Prix,Malinin returned to international competition at the first edition of the2021 JGP FranceinCourchevel,winning the gold medal despite making errors on both of his attemptedquadruple jumpsin the free skate. He called it "a struggle since I haven't competed in a year, but I think now that I'm back, things are starting going back to normal."[15]At his second event, the2021 JGP AustriainLinz,Malinin entered as one of the favorites for the gold medal and won with new personal bests in all segments. He landed aquadruple Salchowsuccessfully in the free skate, while making an error on hisquadruple toe loopattempt. With two gold medals, he qualified for theJunior Grand Prix Final.[16]However, the Final was later cancelled due to travel restrictions prompted by theOmicron variant.[17]

edit
Malinin at the2021 CS Cup of Austria

Returning to the senior level at the2021 Cup of Austriain November, he placed 13th in the short program, but rallied with a second-place free skate to win the bronze medal.[22]Competing at the2022 U.S. Championshipswith hopes of making theAmerican Olympic team,he placed third in the short program. Second in the free skate with four quadruple jumps landed, Malinin won the silver medal, a result he said surprised him: "I definitely wasn't expecting to skate this good and especially place second."[23]Malinin's placement meant that, per qualification criteria, the third berth on the Olympic team was to be decided between him and fourth-placeJason Brown.Ultimately, the committee chose Brown, a result that attracted some controversy.[24]Malinin was instead assigned to make hisWorld Championshipdebut later in the year. Brown praised him, saying: "U.S. figure skating is so lucky to have such a bright future with Ilia."[25]

In advance of the2022 World Championships,Malinin was sent to theInternational Challenge Cupto secure the required technical minimum scores. He was successful, winning the gold medal in the process.[22]Competing at the World Championships inMontpellier,France, Malinin finished fourth in the short program with a personal best of 100.16, exceeding his previous best international score by almost 20 points. In the free skate, he made major errors on two quadruple jump attempts and dropped to ninth overall.[26]He spoke afterwards of having put "more pressure on myself, just wanting to skate good so badly, and it kind of didn't work out."[27]

2022–2023 season: World bronze & first Grand Prix Final medal

edit

Malinin opened his season at the2022 CS U.S. Classic.He placed sixth place in his short program. His free skate, which was set to theEuphoriasoundtrack and was choreographed byShae-Lynn Bourne,consisted of five quad jumps, including a quad Axel, his first jump during the program, which made him the first skater to land the jump in an international competition.[28][29]American figure skaterAdam Ripponcalled Malinin's accomplishment "the craziest thing I've ever seen anyone do on the ice.”[30]The judges awarded Malinin's quad Axel with a grade of execution of 1.0. His free skate also included a triple Lutz-triple Axel combination as the last jumping pass. He fell while attempting a quad Lutz but successfully completed all his other jumps. He came in first place in the free skate, earning a total of 257.28 points, coming in first place overall.Kévin Aymozfrom France came in second place with 236.17 points, and fellow AmericanCamden Pulkinencame in third place with 219.49 points.[28][29][30]

At theJapan Openas part of Team North America, Malinin placed second in the men's free skate competition, earning a total of 193.42 points, just behind world championShoma Uno,who scored 193.80. He touched the ice on the final rotation of his quad Axel, so he was not able to land it successfully even though he accomplished it during practice, but "effortlessly"[31]completed all four of his other quad jumps. Returning to the seniorGrand Prixat the2022 Skate AmericainNorwood, Massachusetts,Malinin fell on his quad toe jump but earned 86.08 points in his short program, which put him in fourth place. During his free skating program, he fell on a quad Lutz-triple Salchow combination, both parts of which were called as underrotated, but successfully landed four "solid"[32]quad jumps, including a "beautiful"[32]and "nearly perfectly"[33]executed quad Axel jump, the first jump of the program, which earned him many positive GOEs.[32]He also completed a quad toe loop, a quad Lutz and a quad Salchow in the first half of the program. After his error on the lutz combination in the second half, The Associated Press reported that "with an almost sheepish smile",[33]he got back up from the ice and completed a triple flip-triple toe loop and a triple Lutz-triple Axel, which earned him a standing ovation from the audience.[33]His spins were all level-4. He earned 194.29 points in his free skate, with a total score of 280.37, seven points more than the second-place finisherKao Miurafrom Japan, putting him in first place overall.[32][33]He was the youngestSkate Americamen's champion in the event's history.[34]At his second event, the2022 Grand Prix of Espoo,Malinin underrotated two of his jumps and stumbled out of his triple Axel, as a result placing second in that segment behind France'sKévin Aymoz.He revealed afterward that he was "a little bit injured" with a problem in his left foot.[35]He won the free skate decisively, moving into first place and taking his second gold medal. These results qualified him to theGrand Prix Final.[36][37]At the Final inTorino,Malinin stepped out of two jumps and slightly underrotated a third, as a result placing fifth in that segment with a score of 80.10, well back of the leaders. He indicated that he remained bothered by his injury and would not attempt the quad Lutz in competition.[38][39]He rebounded in the free skate, finishing in second place in that segment, with only a small error on one slightly underrotated jump. He rose to the bronze medal overall, 2.41 points behind silver medalistSōta Yamamotoof Japan. Malinin said his "goal is to definitely make sure that I'm able to be comfortable with my short program because, as of right now, it's been a bit messy."[40][41]

Malinin entered the2023 U.S. Championshipsas the gold medal favourite, and, after a season of difficulties in the short program, delivered a clean performance to rank first in the segment by 10.11 points overJason Brown.He acknowledged afterward that "this season all the short programs have been really tough, and I think that we took every single one of them and thought about where we need to work and what to improve" to get to that performance.[42]Malinin planned to attempt six quadruple jumps in his free skate, but fell on one and doubled two others. He placed second in that segment, behindAndrew Torgashevand only narrowly ahead of Brown, but won the gold medal on the strength of his short program showing.[43]At the2023 World ChampionshipsinSaitama,Malinin placed second in the short program, with a score of 100.38 points behindShoma Uno.He went on to attempt the most technically difficult free skate ever seen at a world championships with six quadruple jumps, landing three cleanly – including the quadruple axel, the first ever at an ISU championship event – earning 188.06 to place third in the free skate and third overall with a combined score of 288.44 behind Uno in first andJun-Hwan Chain second.[2]
