Ilia Malinin, the reigning world and national champion in men's figure skating, shared a message on social media after the crash on the Potomac.

In his fourth appearance at the senior championships, Malinin’s scores for the short program (114.08), free skate (219.23) and total (333.31) were all his national personal bests. Torgashev had 286.49 and bronze medalist Camden Pulkinen 252.92. “It was a pretty good performance,” Malinin said.

Ilia Malinin topped the Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships men's short program by the largest margin in history.

World champion Ilia Malinin landed a record-tying six quadruple jumps to win his third consecutive U.S. figure skating title. Malinin, a 20-year-old from the D.C. area, landed a quad flip, quad Axel (a jump no other skater has ever landed), two quad Lutzes, quad toe loop and quad Salchow in Sunday’s free skate in Wichita, Kansas.

He might've planned to land seven quads, but the reigning World champion romped to another national crown by hitting on six of them.
