Ilia Malinin claims Skate Canada for back-to-back Grand Prix titles, earns place in GP Final

Malinin eyes GP Final for quad Axel return Malinin, who will turn 20 just days before the Final in December, said he plans to bring back his historic quadruple Axel for that event.

"It's been 50-50 in practice, so it wasn't ready for these events," he told Olympics.com of the jump, opting not to include it in the first part of the season.

He didn't need it in Halifax, his big jumps complemented by improved Program Components (artistry) as the top scorer in that mark, too.

Sato, who is still just 20 himself, now has six Grand Prix podiums to his name. He and Cha will both be in contention for respective Grand Prix Final spots as the season unfolds.

Cha was brilliant in his free skate a year after unravelling in that same segment at Skate Canada. The 23-year-old said he was in terrible pain in 2023 at Skate Canada, mostly due to an ankle injury.

But he placed behind only Malinin on Sunday, hitting a quad Salchow and then quad toe to open his "Balada para un Loco" free skate, which he said is akin to the program that was done beautifully in the past by Uno Shoma, the now-retired Japanese star, but that Cha wanted to make his own mark on the music, too.

Like Sato, it's also a sixth Grand Prix podium for the Korean skater. He finished in the top three at Skate Canada for his first - way back in 2018.
