Here’s a translation of Ilia Milinin’s comment posted on sorts.ru:

“Why don’t I attempt the quadruple axel? Well, it seems to me that when the ISU lowered the value of that jump, it sent a message that they don’t need unique elements, and they don’t want skaters to take risks. Certainly, the quadruple axel is a stress on the body, but athletes are adults and approach it consciously, training their bodies. I know that many skaters were disappointed with this decision because the high value of the jump is what motivates you to try something new,” – Sports.ru correspondent Maya Bagriantseva quoted Malinin’s words.
