Olympic Games, Malinin and figure skating
Digest more
Ilia Malinin is in first place in men's figure skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics after scoring 108.16 in the short program on Tuesday in Milano Ice Skating Arena in Assago, Italy.
Malinin’s incredible performance in the Free Skate on Sunday helped give the United States its second straight Olympic gold in the Team Event, narrowly squeaking by the strong Japanese squad. Kagiyama actually posted a better score than Malinin in the Short Program late last week.
