    "parsed_content": "The Athletic has live coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics.MILAN \u2014 When the music stopped, and his skate ended, Ilia Malinin buried his face in his black fabric-covered hands for a few seconds. And when he moved them, his face revealed how he understood exactly what just happened. The shock. The disappointment. The sadness. He couldn\u2019t hide it. He had squandered the gold medal.And the silver.And the bronze.\u201cHonestly, I still haven\u2019t been able to process what just happened,\u201d he later told a throng of reporters.He spoke calmly, having found his composure. He didn\u2019t run from his embarrassment. He didn\u2019t hide behind his agony. He showed up, explained the worst moment of his skating life \u2014 repeatedly across multiple interviews. The kind of accountability that bodes well for his chance to bounce back. But the confusion remained like the sweat on his forehead. He felt good coming in, really solid. And he knows he\u2019s better than the field. He knew all he had to do is what he does in every competition.\u201cBut, of course, it\u2019s not like any other competition,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s the Olympics. And I think people only realize the pressure and the nerves that actually happen from the inside. So it was really just something that overwhelmed me. And I just felt like I had no control.\u201dFigure skating functions as a habitat for heartbreak. The drama of the sport is part of the appeal. Add in the magnitude of the Olympics. That kind of pressure combusts. It\u2019s especially heavy on the burgeoning superstars.Friday at Milano Ice Skating Arena, it crushed Malinin in a stunning development illustrating how the cruelty of sport spares no person.On the biggest stage of his life, needing only a solid performance, Malinin fell apart in the men\u2019s free skate competition. His explosive athleticism, his skating form, his composure, it all failed him \u2014 creating one of the great upsets for which sports is known for producing. The weight, the whispers, they proved too much. He couldn\u2019t get out of his head.For those who need a comparison to understand, this was figure skating\u2019s version of Mike Tyson losing to Buster Douglas, the undefeated Patriots losing in the Super Bowl, the 73-win Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.\n Ilia Malinin was heavily favored to win individual gold.Photo by Wang Zhao \/ AFP via Getty ImagesMalinin came into these Olympics expected to cruise to this gold. And by the time he took the ice as the last skater, the way had been paved.He is the world record-holder for the same event, having scored 238.24 on the same general four-minute routine this past December. Five days ago, he managed a 200.03 in the free skate during the team event, which was low for him. By the time he took the ice Friday, he needed only a 183.43 to become the Olympic champion, having seen his opponents tumble all over the ice.But in stunning fashion, Malinin fell twice himself and managed just a 156.33. He executed only three of his seven planned quadruple jumps. The Quad God finished eighth, punctuating a rocky Olympic debut. It\u2019s the lowest the top American man has finished at the Olympics since Jason Brown took ninth in the 2014 Sochi Games.This was to be Malinin\u2019s coming out party. The culmination. The anointing. Proof of his worthiness of figure skating lore. But it happened before the biggest audience of his sport, certainly more massive than even his own imagination. The world wanted to see the Quad God.But the look in his eyes afterward, the resignation on his face, illustrated the monumental scope of the task. Malinin had an extra layer of expectations and obligations. That\u2019s the burden of being one of the faces of the Winter Games.In this moment, he looked just 21 years old. The last six American men who won Olympic gold did so in their return trip. Only two-time Olympic champion Dick Button won on his first try, back in 1948.\u201cHonestly, I can\u2019t understand what it was now,\u201d Malinin said. \u201cOf course, in the moment, it definitely felt like not only nerves. But maybe the ice was also not the best condition for what I would like to have. And that\u2019s something I cannot complain about because we\u2019re all put in that situation where we have to skate no matter what happens. So that\u2019s not really an excuse I can give.\u201d\n \n \n \n He added that he felt overwhelmed as he took his starting pose. \u201cI just felt like all the just traumatic moments of my life really just started flooding my head,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd there\u2019s just like so many negative thoughts that just flooded into there and I just did not handle them.\u201dThe odd part about his performance: Malinin nailed his first big jump, a quad flip. Normally, that\u2019s a good sign.But his signature move, the quad axel, was next. He\u2019s the only skater who\u2019s ever done it in international competition. He\u2019s the only one who tries. It\u2019s a difficult jump requiring 4 1\/2 rotations. Malinin had purposely not done it at these Milan Games, pacing himself for this big finale.Perhaps that buildup didn\u2019t help. Because the nerves were already ravaging his poise. The doubts and the worries already gnawing at his focus.Malinin popped the quad axel, landing early for a single axel that awarded him just a single point. He spiraled from there, including two rare falls.Kazakhstan\u2019s Mikhail Shaidorov, ranked No. 3 in the world, had the skate of his life, and it wound up being worthy of gold. Japan\u2019s Yuma Kagiyama, who\u2019s been sublime at the Milan Cortina Games, also tumbled in his free skate and it cost him a gold medal before Malinin took the ice. Kagiyama still finished with silver. Kagiyama\u2019s countryman Shun Sato won bronze.\u201cYou\u2019ve trained for this, you\u2019ve practiced this a million times,\u201d he said he told himself, \u201cand you should not treat it as any different competition. But something was off and I definitely did not realize it until the program ended.\u201dThe invincible Malinin became beatable in Milan. And in his final program, he looked even worse than just vulnerable. He looked tired and frazzled, the mark of inexperience on this massive Olympic stage.Four years ago, Malinin skated the performance of his then 17-year-old life at the U.S. Championships. He came almost out of nowhere to snag silver, behind gold medalist Nathan Chen, and signaled his promise as a future star.But U.S. Figure Skating knows as much as anyone the different monster of Olympic competition. So it chose experience over potential. Vincent Zhou and Brown over Malinin.\n A hot mic caught Ilia Malinin, right, saying that if he had been selected to compete in the 2022 Olympics (when he was 17), \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have skated like that.\u201dWang Zhao \/ AFP via Getty ImagesThe irony, from the vantage of hindsight, is that Malinin\u2019s inexperience cost him a spot in the 2022 Beijing Games and also an individual gold in 2026. Sitting in the kiss-and-cry area, on a hot mic, Malinin said if U.S. Figure Skating \u201csent me to Beijing, I wouldn\u2019t have skated like that.\u201dMalinin previously said he wouldn\u2019t have made these Olympics if not for that disappointment in 2022. Being passed over for the Beijing Olympics gave him the drive to find a new level.But having arrived in Milan, the trait he seemed to miss most were the ones that come with experience. On this stage, composure matters. Consistency gains value. Cleanliness is next to goldenness. Such elements are easier to muster for those who have already felt the Olympics, which can overwhelm the psyche and swallow up athletes with its hype and magnitude.\u201cI think it has its ups and downs, of course,\u201d Malinin said about the impact of not getting experience in Beijing. \u201cI think if I went to \u201922, then I would have had more experience and know how to handle this Olympic environment. But also I don\u2019t know what the next stages of my life would look like if I went there. So now all I can do is just regroup from this and really just take in the information that happened and just figure out how to manage in the future.\u201d\n Friday\u2019s free skate was Ilia Malinin\u2019s fourth skate in seven days, a heavy load made more demanding by his physically demanding routine.Wang Zhao \/ AFP via Getty ImagesMalinin \u2014 the four-time world champ, three-time Grand Prix champ, five-time U.S. champ \u2014 does leave Milan with a gold from the team competition, his free skate having secured it for the United States.But the Quad God came to these Olympics to confirm the supremacy he\u2019s established over the last four years. He\u2019s brought a new audience. He positioned himself to expand beyond the niche corner of sports into the mainstream. Figure skaters, of all winter sports athletes, tend to find their way into the American national consciousness. Dorothy Hamill, Kristi Yamaguchi, Michelle Kwan, Brian Boitano and Scott Hamilton top a list of skaters who became veritable household names despite competing in a sport widely relevant only every four years.Figure skating is an easy sport to enjoy even without understanding edge technique and grade of execution scoring. And in this age of pop culture, having been raised in social media culture, Malinin could maybe take figure skating to places it has never been.\u201cThe noise itself is just a lot to handle no matter what favorite you are,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cSocial media has its ups and it really has its downs and I think that\u2019s honestly something that I feel right now and again.\u201dAnd part of the appeal includes what happened to Malinin, the kind of drama that leaves the most cynical sports fans stunned.Athletes with such potential are expected to win gold on the biggest stage. Malinin\u2019s talent demanded as much. Friday\u2019s performance belied that potential.The destructive thoughts bombarded Malinin before the free skate Friday, but his troubles began last week in the short program of the team event. The world No. 1 went last but landed in second place, suffering from nervous energy and noticeable discombobulation while Kagiyama masterfully executed.The jarring experience for Malinin, who had not lost a competition since November 2023, led to a chain of events that eventually worked against him.The rough skate prompted Malinin to also do the free skate in the team event. Not only to get himself a feel-good performance before the individual competition, but also because the Americans needed it for team gold.Malinin delivered that. It wasn\u2019t his prettiest performance, but it was improved and he felt better about himself. He said he figured some things out, solved the problem.The risk was that appearing in the team finale left Malinin with just one day off before having to take the ice again. Friday was his fourth skate in seven days.\n Ilia Malinin had a solid lead after the short program. His score in the free skate ranked 15th, leading to his eighth-place final standing.Piero Cruciatti \/ AFP via Getty ImagesThat\u2019s a daunting load for any skater. But when you add in the sheer physicality of Malinin\u2019s performances \u2014 especially his free skate \u2014 it\u2019s a serious energy drain. Malinin packs seven quadruple jumps into his program, including the quad axel. He hasn\u2019t done it in competition since the Grand Prix final in December.Malinin had talked about pacing himself since the U.S. Championships, when he didn\u2019t go all out in winning his fifth consecutive national title. He also held back during the team event. After the U.S. took gold with his high-pressure free skate, the skaters remained at the arena late because of a gold medal ceremony and numerous interviews. There was some concern about the Quad God being deprived of rest with the men\u2019s competition some 44 hours later.It seemed that Malinin had overcome that hurdle. The men\u2019s singles short program was his best in Milan. He found his game. His control, his execution, it seemed to return.Then he had two days off. One good skate and he would win men\u2019s gold. And he couldn\u2019t do it.One can only wonder what happens if he doesn\u2019t disappoint in his free skate. Or if he simply decided to leave the team free skate to Andrew Torgashev or Maxim Naumov, even if it cost the United States a team gold.Or, if four years ago, the youngster still attending George C. Marshall High in Falls Church, Va., got his Olympic experience at 17 instead of 21. Maybe he\u2019s more prepared for the pressure this time.The good news for Malinin: Tom Brady went back to the Super Bowl and won. Stephen Curry won another title. The trauma of sports tends to bring out another level in its greats.Malinin will be 25 in four years when the Winter Olympics take over Nice, France. He\u2019ll have experience dealing with the Olympic monster and still enough youth to potentially conquer it.\nBy\u00a0Marcus Thompson IISenior Columnist, Bay Area\n \n Feb 14, 2026SUPPORTED BYConnections: Sports EditionSpot the pattern.
