For his short program skate, the 21-year-old athlete earned 115.10 points. However, the score will not be registered as a new world record since it was achieved outside of an ISU-sanctioned competition.
Skater Ilia Malinin won the short program at the US Championships, posting a result higher than the world record.
The 21-year-old Malinin received 115.10 points for his performance.
The record for this metric (113.97) was set by American Nathan Chen at the Beijing Olympics.
Outcomes at national championships are not ratified by the International Skating Union (ISU), so Malinin’s achievement will not become a world record.
Tomoki Hiwatashi holds second place (89.26), with Jason Brown in third (88.49).
Malinin is the son of Russian skaters Roman Skorniakov and Tatiana Malinin, who competed under the flag of Uzbekistan. He is a two-time World Champion (2024, 2025) and holds the world record in the free skate.
