MILAN — Olympic gold is in sight for the "Quad God" of figure skating.
Men's singles at the 2026 Winter Olympics is concluding today, and 21-year-old Ilia Malinin is hunting down the top prize to add to his long list of accolades he's already earned in his young and already epic career. The U.S. star is sitting in first place — by a comfortable margin of five points — entering the free skate. His program is expected to be stunning, featuring both the quad Axel and the backflip.
Americans Maxim Naumov and Andrew Torgashev are also competing. They sit in 14th and eighth, respectively, entering the free skate.
