Gasps and Disbelief in the US as ‘Quad God’ Olympic Dream Crumbles

Disaster struck at the Winter Olympics for Ilia Malinin, the renowned US figure skater known as the ‘Quad God.’ Expectations were high for Malinin, but he fell short of the gold medal, finishing in eighth place.

A Fateful Watch Party

– At SkateQuest, the beloved skating rink in Virginia where Malinin trains, a watch party was held with family, friends, and supporters eagerly gathered to cheer him on.
– Unfortunately, excitement quickly turned into disappointment as Malinin struggled during his performance.

The Quad God’s Signature Move

– Malinin, celebrated for being the first and only skater to successfully execute a quadruple axel in international competition, attempted this signature move on Friday.
– In a surprising twist, he was unable to land the quad axel, resulting in a score of 156.33. This was a stark contrast to the world record of 238.24 that he set in December last year.

As the cheers faded and disbelief settled in, the figure skating community and fans nationwide grappled with the unexpected outcome of the ‘Quad God’s’ Olympic dream.
