Ilia competed at senior Worlds last season, and was 9th, if I remember right.Question if Isabeau Levitovmedals would she be the first American woman to medal in her world debut? Is their another skater? I think Ilia Malinin would be second or did the men in from 1950- 1960 medal in their debut? Didn't the Kennedy's medal in their world debut also?
In looking things up, Dick Button won a silver at his first Worlds.
I haven't come up with any woman yet, but I also haven't looked through them all.
