American figure skater Ilia Malinin triumphed at the Grand Prix France, finishing with a commanding 40-point lead over his competitors. Tataina Tarasova declares Ilia Malinin as the unrivaled favorite for Olympic gold, praising his groundbreaking artistry and dominance in men’s figure skating. Here’s a translation of her comments.
“What more is there to say about men’s singles skating? We are witnessing an undisputed genius who is showing us that it can be done this way,” said Tatiana Tarasova.
“This is an entirely different level of singles skating. Ilia is the skater of the future. I can’t even comprehend how the judges calculated his scores – they could have easily added another 40 points without issue.
As of today, no one can challenge him. He’s competing only with himself. He’s a unique individual, bringing joy to everyone. And keep in mind, he didn’t even reveal everything he’s capable of in France.
I’m still in awe of what I saw – I’m even stammering a bit. What could possibly stop him from winning the Olympics? Let me repeat: he has no competitors. Let’s wish him health and strength,” said Tarasova, clearly impressed by Malinin’s performance.
