"Ilia Malinin sprawled out on the ice, eyes closed, soaking it all in. The man known as the Quad God had just unleashed a series of quadruple jumps including the quad axel, a jump that no one else has ever landed, as well as a backflip in his typical spectacular style. Despite a fall and miscues, Malinin easily beat Yuma Kagiyama to win the men’s singles competition in the Grand Prix Final, finishing an undefeated 2024."
"Malinin's win Saturday completed a perfect calendar year that included the World Championship gold medal, cementing his status as the sport's clear No. 1 just over a year before the 2026 Olympics begin in Milan. He opened up a near-12-point lead over Kagiyama following his dazzling short program, showcasing a barrage of quads and a crowd-pleasing backflip to claim another major title with a combined score of 292.12."
