Now he’s the World champion in Seniors. Won these world titles two years apart, closer together than any man in history. Just love him and his skating.

His technique and jumps are phenomenal but I'd like to see more artistry and interpretation coming from him too but wow his quads are incredible, they look like triples! He makes it look so easy!

Hopefully artistry will come with age and experience. His mother Tatiana Mailinina was a top 5 skater in the 1990s - I was around then and she had the most amazing triple lutz technique - there are some videos on You Tube. I hope he can stay healthy and injury free.... the amount of stress quads can put on the body (let alone any falls in practice etc.) I wish him well.

Fantastic! The artistry will come. The lightness of his 4T and 4S is incredible! Excited for his career and hope he stays well mentally and physically!

He was in a class of his own at Junior Worlds. He is utterly amazing. I don't think I've ever seen such a young skater with such mind-blowing potential. He has it all - great jumps, great spins, great footwork, great style and flow and yes he has lovely artistry. Let's remember artistry is not about fancy arm movements but includes everything - style and flow over the ice, for me, makes up the majority of artistry as any fool can go out there and wave their arms about or strike a dramatic pose. I've seen videos of this young man elsewhere on the internet where he was doing some amazing combos - 4T/4T, 4T/4Lo, 3lutz/4T, 3lutz/4Lo. I'm quite sure he will be the first skater to land a quad/quad combo in competition and who knows, maybe this young man will the first quad axel cleanly.

As amazing as a 4-4 is, its not good to put it in the long program and actually reduces the total base value. In a combination, only the higher scoring jump of the two receives goe bonus, so the second quad in a combo doesnt actually earn goe. The only benefit of doing a combo is to be able to repeat a jump element. The only way for 4-4 to make sense is if they allow it in the short program. Btw, ilia has confirmed this in an interview... he will be attempting 7! Quads in the free program within the season.

You know, I had remarked that I wished Ilia had a little more interpretation when I first watched this. Returning to it, I think I just wasn't watching closely. There are some really incredible bits of choreo here and his control never wavers for a second. Quads aside it's breathtaking. He's upping the ante like we've never seen it before; really pushing the envelope.

Congratulations, Ilia! I think the future for US skating is in good hands!!!

Absolutely fantastic , the lightness of his quads are amazing and this whole programme bursts of energy, this at only 17 and you know that he is the one to watch for. Congratulations Ilia this was exciting to watch!

I'm so happy he won here after the fall at the senior world championships. He looked so devastated there! Glad he has a happy moment in his career now. Genuine question here though: Can anyone tell me where the overlap between being allowed to do both junior and senior competitions ends? Is it an age thing or is a skater allowed to finish their year on the junior circuit if they move to the senior level in the middle of it? I'm curious why he was doing both.

Don't know exactly how it works but Ilia technically never "moved up" to seniors. He is old enough to participate in seniors but for whatever reason, they decided to continue competing on the junior level (mainly done to get some more international experience and build up reputation, among other reasons). A skater is able to compete at both senior and junior events if they're old enough, so long as they don't formally switch to being a senior. Federations that don't have a lot of skaters to pick from normally do this.

Yes of course he is. It really ticks me off when people talk about artistry or being expressive. He has a lovely clean, classical and flowing style as he moves over the ice. Any fool can go on the ice and strike a dramatic pose, wave their arms about or try to be 'expressive' and call it artistry. For me, if they don't have a lovely, smooth and flowing style then their poses and arm movements mean nothing. If they don't point their toes on their free leg when landing a jump or exiting a spin then their so-called interpretation means nothing. His choreo is really good - it's even better on his SP to Billie-Jean.
