Natalya Bestemyanova called Malinin’s performance at the World Championships grandiose
Olympic ice dancing champion Natalya Bestemyanova shared her impressions of Russian-American Ilya Malinin’s victory at the World Figure Skating Championships.
“I was able to watch part of his performance where he performed a quadruple axel. It was a superb race. Not everyone skated well. One way or another, we congratulate Malinin on his grandiose victory,” Bestemyanova said “SE”.
Malinin became world champion for the first time. Ilya – World Championship bronze medalist (2023), Grand Prix Final winner (2023), Grand Prix Final bronze medalist (2022), two-time US champion (2023, 2024), medalist silver of the United States championship (2022), world junior champion (2022), winner of the World Team Championship (2023).
At the same time, against the background of the deterioration in the level of the World and European Championships, even in the West, calls are being heard for the Russians to return. In the 2024 World Cup, the United States won the medal standings.
