Malinin lost to Yagiyama in the Team Short Program but beat him in Team Free Skate. So, this was redemption of a sort but the main reason for the 5 pt difference was a mistake by Yagiama who fell out of a (for him) relatively easy Triple Axel. Otherwise, the scores would be much closer.

Nevertheless, with the potential 7 quad performance available to Malinin in the Free Skate, Malinin "should" win the Gold Medal in Men's Figure Skating as long as he performs relatively mistake free.

We'll see . . .
