Ilia Malinin has seized his first opportunity at redemption since his 2026 Winter Olympic disaster.
At the figure skating world championships in Prague on Thursday, Malinin — also known as “Quad God” — led the pack after the short program with a total of 111.29 points. The defending two-time world champion began with a quad flip and a combination of quad lutz and triple toe loop, living up to his moniker.

The most honest way to say it is it’s just a lot of on you, just so many eyes, so much attention,” Malinin said on “Today” afterward. “It really can get to you if you’re not ready to fully embrace it, so I think that might be one of the mistakes I made going into that free skate was I was not ready to handle that to a full extent.“… All I have to do is just learn from my mistakes there and push to see how I can improve in the future. I can take a different approach leading up to the next Games, hopefully.”on social media featuring happy skating memories stitched with clips of him holding his head in his hands at the Winter Games.Lindsey Vonn shows off her surgery bandages in high-slit dress on the cover of Vanity FairStream It Or Skip It: 'Bait' On Prime Video, Where Riz Ahmed Is A Struggling Actor Who Helps Start A Rumor About Him Being The Next James Bond
