Now that Ilia Malinin has landed the 4A in a ISU ratified competition (congrats to Ilia 🥳) I hope fs fandom can calm a bit down about the jump.
I mean the 4A race is finished now...more skaters will follow trying the 4A and we should not forget that it was Yuzu who made ppl believe that the 4A was possible. Yuzu's name will be connected to the 4A, but Yuzu's legacy is so much more than just this race.
Ilia landing the 4A does not take anything away from Yuzu or his legacy.
Let's just congratulate Ilia and move on!
I hope that the next race in figure skating is not about quintuple jumps, that don't have any value anyway but back to striving for more artistry and complexity in composition of programs. I would love that. I know it's hopeless but one can dream
Laudna, with either 4A or 5E. Or both. Entirely up to you.
I think this expression suits her very well
