The 20-year-old skate, who was born in Fairfax, huh. His score of 318.56 points was 31.09 points ahead of silver medalist Mikhail Shaidorov in Kazakhstan. Yuma Kagiyama from Japan fought in the free skate but hung on the bronze.
“I was just really trained. I just wanted to give all my everything and really fight for every element,” Malinin said after his victory. “I really feel like I was doing this.”
Malinin’s teammates Jason Brown finished in 8th place and secured Team USA three berths at next year’s Olympics in Milan Cortina, Italy.
Malinin’s horror-theme program for “I’m not a vampire” culminated with a rear flip at the end, a new feature allowed by International Skating Union this season. His routine was not perfect – a Lutz doubled during the second half of the program – but his technical dominance still gave him a victory.
