Alright, let's do a threat assessment on Ilia Malinin...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilia_Malinin
It's definitely giving "intense" and "oh, shit" vibes.
Yuzuru is prolly glad he's retired. But then again, I haven't even pushed play yet.
0:20 alrighty, well. Considering he's only 20, he's definitely gonna be fucking them up for years to come.
0:27 "He's gotta keep his cool!" Lol, my guy... this boy is not sweating it whatsofuckingever and if you can't see that, then you don't know what you're looking at.
If figure skating has been lacking anything in the past several years, since Yuruzu left the scene, and probably even before that, then I think Malinin might be bringing it back. It's serving mid '90s realness to me.
Yeah, everybody else is fucked. I feel bad for 'em, even though I dunno who they are cuz I don't keep up with this stuff.
I can just tell you that Nathan is definitely not going up against that. Not a chance in hell. He's better off being a doctor, not even because he couldn't win necessarily, but just because... it ain't really worth it, especially since he already won once.
0:48 this guy is like an ice skating savant, the shit ain't even normal.
Fucking great outfit too, just enough glitz but still manly.
Great music too. I wasn't really digging the songs Nathan was skating to, and I notice I can tune out the ad banners easily watching this Ilia fella.
1:52 he's excellent.
2:29 okay so he fell, whatever. He'd still curbstomp Nathan.
Roflmao, okay okay I'm joking. Lmfao I just like saying curbstomp.
So apparently he hasn't done the Olympics yet, but he's 2024 and 2025 World Champion...

Let's check out this interview and try to size him up...
1:00 aw, he seems like a nice feller. Both of his parents being figure skaters who competed in the Olympics is kind of a bad sign though. I think he'd have been more likely to get that gold if he had been a random prodigy instead. He was prolly forced into this whole thing.
This is pretty new, let's see how he's doing these days and I'll make my final judgement...
Check out the "blood" on his collar and sleeve, he's definitely got unique style.
Another great musical choice. I like this guy.
1:30 he's totally nailing it so far. I think my first impressions of him were accurate, but we'll just have to see.
1:50 that wasn't a total success, but I have to say, the way he reacted to it was top notch excellence, you can tell he's been doing this basically since he popped out of the womb.
This one is even newer...
Well. If he does go to the Olympics, he'll do better than his parents did, that's for damn sure. Lol, no shade.
I strongly believe that if this had been his genuine passion and not forced on him by his parents, he'd probably be the best in the world today. He's pretty damn amazing considering.
He needs to get his shit together and win that gold though, he's already made a huge name for himself, might as well go all the way. Even if he doesn't win gold, it'd still be worth it to go to the Olympics.
Prolly only like another 4 years left for him to do that. Maybe he should go to medical school too.
Maybe he doesn't like his outfits and that throws him off. He seems great when he's dressed more casually.
He really is amazing. I personally believe in him. Go Ilia!
1:55 I wonder if these song choices are digs at his parents, lmao.
2:23 if I was gonna get all sporty and route for somebody, it'd definitely be him.
I wanna keep an eye on this one, but I'll totally forget about the whole nine in a couple days.

Quote:Ilia Malinin is a strong contender for a medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics. He is known as the "quad god" for his incredible jumping ability.
