QUAD GOD: Malinin lands quad axel in historic comeback Skate America victory | NBC Sports

Amazing the creativity God has given to His creation.
So C00L!
Why don’t they show the full routine? So annoying.
I remember when Tonya Harding landing a 3A was a HUGE deal. Now a 3A they barely even mention when a competitor does one.
It was a quarter short, former figure skater.
In the thumbnail I thought it was a hat, like how does he keep that on, but then I realized it was his hair, lol🤣
Amazing jump.
comeback?
Finally thank you so much young man. I am so proud to b alive to witness an American with such talent and skill. Wonderful
WoW, he is great.
What is most interesting is that he’s Russian 😂
So proud of him!
This is historic!
He has a lot of Alexander Abt vibes.
Amazing 🎉
A perfect program. Incredible!
Wow – way to challenge yourself
Hope all skaters are skating clean and wow!
I have to chuckle…Tara still screams when she gets excited about something.
COOLEST DUDE EEEEVER!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
When will NBC show the men's free skate??????
Amazing talent! 👏🏻
These countries outside of America could never do such a thing 💅🏽
I’m not trying to fan the flames or disrespect anyone, but it is a little disrespectful for you to underestimate the United States 💋
Has History taught you Nothing?
Hopefully they don't get rid of the artistry in this sport.
So graceful I have chills
He left everything on the ice
I remember when just a quad was considered rare. Most skaters would simply fall for even attempting it. All you had to do was successfully land 1 quad to win a major event. Elvis Stojko was my favorite skater when I was a child and I remember people would go crazy when he landed them. Now we got 17 year old's doing them like it's nothing. What a change!
Incredible! Amazing! He brought happy tears in my eyes!!!
The height of the jump is amazing and what makes it possible. Great power in his legs.
I have watched that 4A dozens of times. Not only is that an amazing feat in itself, but this jump was absolutely gorgeous.
Incredible talent!
He doesn't sound American. What was that language he spoke to his coach???
He's looks and skates so much like his mother on the ice, utterly spectacular ❤️
He ate left no crumbs
Well, he better stay skinny, cause the Russian gals already shown us what happens when you become an adult.
He would never have won without the QuadA; zero artistic merit and very little presence on the ice when he's not jumping.
Incredible young man! So excited to see him in the Olympics some day soon.
I never understood one thing about figure skating…why are the men dressed like females? They literally have them wearing the least masculine thing possible but then again they're essentially doing ballet on ice
Why do I feel like I'm watching Monday night football biggest hits?
Nathan Chen people 😂
Wow height and fully rotated 👏🏻
Nathan Chen is the original quad king.
Okay—outstanding athletic ability but—this is FIGURE Skating and it losing its initial beauty and appeal. Its much more than quads
You can take the Russian out of Russia but they still perform like a Russian. That said, he has a long ways to go in terms of artistry
Amazing always knew someone would be able to do it! That was amazing gorgeous.
The artistry is not there yet it is sad that the sport is now just a quad contest , awful .
Never watched much figure skating but this guy will make you watch it 😎😎😎
Is this the end of Nathan Chen?
