Dang! “Quad God” to eighth.

Ilia Malinin had gold in sight after the short program. It would’ve taken something catastrophic to keep him off the podium.

That’s exactly what happened.

He landed just 3 of 7 planned quads. Popped his signature quad axel into a single. Fell twice. Finished eighth overall.

“Honestly, I still haven’t been able to process what just happened.”
