MILAN, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Figure skating will arrive at the Milano Cortina Olympics in the grip of a technical revolution led by Ilia Malinin, whose multiple‑quad programmes have reset the bar and reignited debate over whether artistry can keep pace with athletic extremes.
The 21-year-old American "Quad God" in December broke his own free skate world record with 238.24 points, landing seven quad jumps, including his signature quadruple Axel — a jump only he has completed in competition.
