MONTREAL — American figure skating star Ilia Malinin is a world champion — and a world-record holder.
Malinin put on a dominant display that included a jaw-dropping six quad jumps — including his patented quad axel — to snag the men’s singles crown Saturday at the world championships.
Malinin dropped to the ice in disbelief after presenting his sheer athletics to a rowdy Bell Centre crowd that cheered and clapped the whole way. Yuma Kagiyama of Japan won silver and Adam Siao Him Fa of France claimed bronze . Siao Him Fa climbed from 19th to third with an awe-inspiring display of his own, which included a backflip.
