But Chen didn’t grow very much. Ilia has good technique so I am hopeful he can keep his jumps but I would not be surprised if he got a lot taller. It’s just one more challenge. I really think he’ll be able to keep the quads for the most part. But something like +4lo combo is a lot more difficult when you are bigger. The smaller you are the easier it is to rotate fast.Malinin's quads have at least as good technique as Chen, if not more stable technique (than Chen's earlier quads). From technique standpoint, I'm not worried. Of course, Injury as well as mental stuff is important, but technique is definitely going for Ilia.
