Ilia Malinin – 6 quads
I don’t often link to figure skating as they rarely flip 😀 … but Ilia’s performance is something we need know.
He’s the quad god. Kenzo on ice.
The new 2024 World champion.
Malinin is the first and only skater to land a fully-rotated quadruple Axel, widely regarded as the hardest jump in figure skating.
The son of Russian-born Olympic Uzbekistani singles skaters Tatiana Malinina (1999 Grand Prix Final and inaugural Four Continents champion) and Roman Skorniakov. Born Fairfax, Virginia.

Happy to be uninjured during the Olympic year.
Ondine Achampong – British Champion
Qiu Qiyuan – Bars
2023 World Bars champion Qiu Qiyuan is the gymnast with the best chance to defeat Kaylia Nemour in the Paris Olympics.
She’s upgraded difficulty in 2024.
That said — there’s much more potential for e-score deduction. Kaylia has no Giants, for example.
