Ilia Malinin told why he stopped jumping the quadruple axel at the starts.
Read Time:39 Second
“Last season I took up the quadruple axel with the intention of setting a record, of leaving my mark. I thought that if I managed to achieve high quality, my scores would become even higher.
But as a result, after trying to perform this jump, I realized that it doesn’t bring a lot of points. And if I made a mistake, I would get a lower score than for a clean triple. That’s why I refrained from the quadruple axel this season.
I hoped that I could promote and develop my sport and inspire other athletes. But if the judges don’t approve of it, then it’s not worth the risk,” Malinin said in an interview with Japanese publication Number Bunshun.
