PARIS – US figure skating star Ilia Malinin swings into action as the pre-Winter Olympic season kicks off on Friday with the first of the six-leg ISU Grand Prix series at Skate America in Texas.
And the 19-year-old – nicknamed as the "Quad God" – is the pre-Olympic favourite after the retirement of two-time world champion and three-time Olympic medallist Uno Shoma of Japan. "The gap between Ilia was something I was constantly made aware of last season," said three-time world silver medallist Kagiyama.

American Isabeau Levito won silver behind Sakamoto at worlds last year. She is looking to better her runners-up spots at Skate America the last two seasons with Japan's Rinka Watanabe also hoping to medal.
