One of the most anticipated events of the 2026 Winter Olympics has been American figure skater Ilya Malinin’s performance, who is the leading contender for the gold medal in Milan.
The US representative at the Olympics has performed a backflip that has been banned for almost 50 years.
The athlete known as the “Quad God” has reached this sporting pinnacle as the leader of an incredible technical revolution, taking on the main hopes of the US team.
Ilya Malinin performed five quadruple jumps and earned 200.03 points for his free skate as the United States defeated Japan to defend its gold medal in the figure skating team competition.
