There were backflips, there were skilled jumps, but Ilia Malinin’s first Olympic figure skating performance didn’t go exactly as planned.
After years of winning scores and performances, his first skate on Olympic ice ended with a shocking upset at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.
Reigning silver medalist Yuma Kagiyama landed a pair of near-perfect quads, one in combination with a triple toe loop, and scored 108.67 points for his short program Saturday night. That topped Malinin for the segment — he was second with 98.00 — and gave his Japanese team 33 points, just one behind the defending champion U.S. at the midway juncture of the competition.
Italy was third with 28 points, Canada fourth with 27 and Georgia fifth with 25.
