American figure skating star Ilya Marinen is a world champion and world record holder.
Marinen put on a dominant display at the world championships on Saturday night, including a jaw-dropping six quads (including his patented quad axel) to capture the men’s singles crown.
After finishing third in Thursday’s short program, the 19-year-old skated to a world-record 227.79 points in the free program. succession The soundtrack brought his total score to 333.76 – more than 20 points higher than anyone else on the field.
Marinen collapsed on the ice in disbelief as he showed off his moves to a raucous Bell Center crowd that cheered and clapped throughout.
He defeated two-time defending world champion Shoma Uno of Japan, who missed two quads at the start of his event and dropped to fourth (280.85).
Japan’s Yuma Kagiyama won the silver medal (309.65) and France’s Adam Siao Him Fa won the bronze (284.39). Xiao Qianfa rose from 19th to third place with his amazing backflip performance.
Earlier on Saturday, 2022 Olympic champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the United States defended their ice dance world titles with a season-best total of 222.20.
Canada’s Piper Giles and Paul Poirier won silver (219.68), while Italy’s Charlene Gignard and Marco Fabbri won bronze (216.52).
This is the first time Montreal has hosted the event since 1932. The city was supposed to host the 2020 tournament, but the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic put the tournament on hold.
Boston will host the game in 2025.
